Blanket

A blanket is a swath of soft cloth large enough either to cover or to enfold most

of the user’s body and thick enough to keep the body warm by trapping radiant

body heat that otherwise would be lost through convection.

A blankets creates a ‘microclimate’ around the skin that is usually warmer than

the surrounding environment,” “It traps heat that escapes from the body at night, keeping the body warm.

Using a blanket helps us to deal with our lower nightly core body temperatures.

It also increases the serotonin and melatonin levels in our brain which helps relax us and fall asleep.
