Sleep Issues (Kids)
Sleep requires relaxation and sometimes kids are too wound up to get calm. The body's fight or flight response can keep the mind and body on high alert, making it difficult to relax. Using BLAST® to your child relax into dreamland.
How blast® works for sleep Issues (Kids)
BLAST® INTERVENES
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).

CHANGE OCCURS
When using BLAST® consistently before/during bedtime, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones contribute to poor sleep.

MEASURABLE IMPACT
A Scientific Advisory Board study found that when BLAST® is used before going to bed, they both helped the subject fall asleep within 15 minutes and wake up 80% less in the middle of the night.
BLAST® helps your body manage the stress, one of the main reasons for sleep disruption, helping your body to relax for more restful sleep. View study.

Lisa Sunbury
she sleeps through the night as opposed to waking several times
"We were gifted a set of Touchpoints through their scholarship program in exchange for an honest review. My child struggles with sensory issues, ADHD, and anxiety. She has been using Touchpoints for about three months now, and I have seen a definite decrease in anxiety and an improvement in sleep. On nights when she uses the Touchpoints for 15 minutes before bed, she sleeps through the night as opposed to waking several times. She likes to wear them on her ankles. She likes that she is in control of when to use them. I have also used them and found them helpful in dealing with stress and anxiety. I'd definitely recommend trying them as a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical tool for overall well-being, improved sleep, and a relief from anxiety. They have been very beneficial for us."
