Unlock the Untold Sleep Hacks: 45 Game-Changing Secrets the Experts Don’t Want You to Know!
35. Warm Your Neck
Studies have found that warming the back of your neck to about 104°F (40°C) before bed improves both sleep onset and quality. This specific warming helps reduce sympathetic nervous system activity (which creates alertness) while increasing parasympathetic activity (which promotes relaxation). A warm compress or heated neck wrap (plug-in and microwavable options are available) can do the trick.
36. Release Jaw Tension
When you clench your jaw, it sends signals to your brain that you’re under stress, reinforcing anxiety that can make it harder to fall asleep. Instead, aim for a relaxed, slack jaw — like a trout’s. When your mouth is at ease, your brain takes it as a cue to relax the rest of your body, too.
