10-year-old boy

Protac Ball Blanket^® Calm  was especially effective on Jens’ ability to fall asleep. When he started school, he experienced many frustrations which affected his sleep. It could take up to two to three hours to fall asleep. When we got the Protac Ball Blanket^®, the time it took him to fall asleep was reduced to half an hour. It may still be hard for Jens to go to school, but the improved sleep means he has a better day overall and that it is easier for him to cope with the challenges of the day.
