The Science Behind Why We Love Cuddling Up with a Blanket

  • by

Cuddling up with a blanket is one of the best feelings in the world! Have you ever wondered why we love it so much? Well, there’s actually some science behind it.

When we wrap ourselves in a cozy blanket, our bodies release a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone is sometimes called the “love hormone” because it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside. It helps us feel calm and safe, just like when we’re cuddled up with someone we love.

Blankets also provide a sense of security. When we’re covered up, we feel protected and comforted. This can help us relax and fall asleep easier.

So next time you snuggle up with your favorite blanket, remember that there’s a scientific reason why it feels so good. And don’t forget to give your blanket a big hug – it deserves some love too!
