TACTUS
Tactile Sleep Protocol: TACTUS
Apply deep pressure to activate your parasympathetic nervous system
Deep pressure on your skin hits the vagus nerve, which shifts your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into rest mode. Same reason a hug feels good. We just put it in a product.
Research published in the Journal of Sleep Research confirms that weighted pressure stimulation increases serotonin by 28% and decreases cortisol by 31% within 20 minutes.
