When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
I take 10 sips of water while holding my breath. Works.
The tissue basically forces you to take those sips very slowly, which I think is what helps. The holding my breath trick almost never works the first time for me.
For me it’s not holding my breath, but pushing as much air into my diaphragm as possible, kind of like swallowing air and pushing it down until it hurts.
Yeah, this works for me 100%. Just holding breath isn’t enough, though.
