Night terrors can be intense and overwhelming – not only in children, but also in adults and seniors. The body goes into an alarm state: heart rate up, fast breathing, tension and confusion. Deep pressure helps break through this. It gives a signal of safety that calms the nervous system, so anxiety subsides faster. Hugsback offers this safe pressure in a warm, soft way. It feels like a hug that helps you through the fear.
In this article you will discover exactly what happens during night terrors, why safe deep pressure is so effective and how the Hugsback weighted plush toy provides warm, low-threshold support during anxious nighttime moments.
What happens during night terrors?
During night terrors the body reacts as if there is immediate danger:
- Adrenaline rises quickly
