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?

    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.
