The Wuggle’s patented design represents the first sleep cap to utilize Deep Touch Pressure
therapy, letting Wugglers quickly and effectively calm their minds and reduce anxiety, and
allowing them to fall asleep faster and enjoy a longer deeper sleep.

How Deep Touch Pressure actually works.
The Wuggle’s Deep Touch Pressure design works by applying gentle pressure across the eye
sockets, temples and brow. When your skin receptors detect this sensation they send a
“calming signal” to the brain, instructing it to produce serotonin and dopamine (otherwise
known as the “happiness hormones”), while decreasing production of cortisol (the “stress
hormone”).

As your body naturally converts serotonin to melatonin, this shift in hormonal balance instructs your central nervous system to switch from the “fight or flight” response that is destroying your sleep to the “rest and digest” response necessary for deep sleep.

Proven more effective than weighted blankets.
Many people have experimented with weighted blankets to mimic this effect. However, studies
have shown that direct pressure on the face and head result in a quicker and far more effective
sleep aid.

This is because, in addition to the benefits of Deep Touch Pressure, the Wuggle’s design
effectively relieves facial muscle pressure, reducing headaches and encouraging mindfulness by
quieting a racing mind.

Finally, the Wuggle effectively blocks out sound and light, stimulating even greater melatonin production, reducing distractions from external stimuli and helping maintain your body’s natural circadian rhythm.
