Sleep Issues (Kids)
Sleep requires relaxation and sometimes kids are too wound up to get calm. The body'sfight or flightresponse can keep the mind and body on high alert, making it difficult to relax. Using BLAST® to your child relax into dreamland.
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 to manage aggressive behavior, 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 that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) View our full Stress Study.
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.

When to use BLAST®
Spot: Use if woken up in the middle of the night
Preventative: Use TouchPoints 15-30 minutes during bedtime stories or before bed.
Warning: We do not recommend using TouchPoints before bedtime the first few times you use them. Wait until you are more comfortable with the sensation of BLAST, otherwise the unfamiliar stimulation may be activating (upregulating) rather than calming (downregulating), which could make it harder to relax.
How to use BLAST®
Mode: Use the Slow/Blue mode.
Where: Place TouchPoints in zippered sweatbands and wear around wrists or ankles.
Timing: Use until your child can go to sleep. If they fall asleep with TouchPoints on, that’s okay! There’s no too-long with TouchPoints.
