Unlock the Untold Sleep Hacks: 45 Game-Changing Secrets the Experts Don’t Want You to Know!

Thinking stressful or worry-inducing thoughts as you lie in bed can create mental arousal that makes it harder to fall asleep. Paradoxically, actively trying to fight these thoughts can actually backfire — making them more persistent and sleep more elusive; research has shown that people instructed to suppress specific thoughts before bed took longer to fall asleep than those allowed to let their thoughts flow naturally.
