Sleeping hugs can help you improve your mood, health and bring deeper, better sleep.
Helps improve mental health
A hug is a sign of connection and support, helping people become more resilient to stress.
hugs or gentle touches can reduce cortisol levels - the stress hormone - thereby helping the body relax, easily fall asleep and maintain deeper sleep.
Strengthen the immune system
Studies show that regular hugging helps increase immunity by reducing the body's negative reaction to stress.
People who are often hugged tend to be less sick and recover faster when they are sick.
Stabilize blood pressure
Warm hugs also help keep the spirit calm and stabilize blood pressure.
Research shows that women who are hugged by their partner often have lower resting blood pressure, contributing to protecting cardiovascular health.
Improve sleep quality
hugging not only brings a feeling of happiness when alert but also helps sleep deeper and more fully.
A recent study shows that people who sleep together or hugged while sleeping can increase REM sleep time by up to 10%, and have less interruption at night.
