Adorable and comforting. The bear is small and fits easily in hand or under your cheek / on the pillow. The heartbeat is extremely soothing. I'm an adult with anxiety-induced insomnia, and focusing on the steady, even-tempo pulse helps calm me down. It's helped me relax enough to sleep on several ocassions and its very soft and comforting. It doesn't work every time for me, but I would recommend trying this to see if it helps you. Paired with a salt lamp, it creates a very soothing sleep environment. And even if it doesn't help me fall asleep right away, it gives something cute to hold on to which often helps comfort me when my anxiety is rough.
