DreamCatcher Weighted Blankets are proving helpful to those undergoing Cancer or Chemotherapy Treatments.
Anxiety is a normal reaction to cancer. One may experience anxiety while undergoing a cancer screening test, waiting for test results, receiving a diagnosis of cancer, undergoing cancer treatment, or anticipating a recurrence of cancer. Anxiety associated with cancer may increase feelings of pain, interfere with one's ability to sleep, cause nausea and vomiting, and interfere with the patient's (and his or her family's) quality of life.
Customers of DreamCatcher Weighted Blankets who have experienced cancer related anxiety have reported that using a weighted blanket has given them relief from those feelings of anxiety and insomnia caused by cancer treatments. This group of clients use a DreamCatcher as a sleep aid and a calming tool, both during treatments and at any time they experience anxiety or insomnia symptoms.

Weighted blankets should never be used as a restraint. It is important that a blanket is never so heavy that the user feels trapped. The user must always be able to remove a weighted blanket on their own without problem, if desired.
