Reduce stress and anxiety
Increase focus and feel calmer
Spark happy brain chemicals
Meet Sunnie the Sloth, a weighted stuffed animal with extra-long arms and paws that hug you back. Sunnie helps you stay focused, feel safe, and reduce cortisol and anxiety. Whether you're working, studying, or winding down, Sunnie brings the comfort of a warm hug anytime you need it.
How it works
Sunnie the Sloth uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) a calming technique that applies gentle pressure to the body, similar to the feeling of a hug. This pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for helping you relax, recharge, and feel safe.
When you hug Sunnie or let his weighted arms wrap around you, it sends a signal to your brain that says:
"You're safe. You can slow down now."
This physical cue helps:
- Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
- Calm racing thoughts
- Boost serotonin and dopamine (your happy and feel-good chemicals)
- Support better focus and sleep
Whether you’re at your desk, in bed, or on the couch, Sunnie provides an instant wave of calm when you need it most.
