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?


If you feel like you are about to sneeze but can’t quite manage it (and do want to), tilt your head upwards and look into a bright light.
Just FYI, the photic reflex is not universal.
Sure glad I have it though!

Works if you’re photosensitive to any degree, which most people are.
