Sannarp High School in Sweden focused on students’ health and ability to focus and concentrate.
Through a series of interviews, it emerged that students found it difficult to concentrate, get started on school assignments, and study in peace. A noisy environment with many external stimuli can negatively affect students’ energy levels and disrupt their stamina and performance.
It was with this in mind that the idea came about to test various weighted products on an entire class, both individually and as a group. Sannarp High School wanted to investigate whether weighted products intended for daily use could help improve students’ ability to concentrate and study during the school day.
The results were positive. Here are some of the comments from the students:
I feel calmer, and it is calmer in the classroom when the others use the products.
I sat with better posture, which meant I could concentrate better.
I usually talk a lot and swing in my chair. I did that less when I used the weighted collar. And I could work better, so that was a good thing.
