Unlock the Untold Sleep Hacks: 45 Game-Changing Secrets the Experts Don’t Want You to Know!
43. Embrace Stillness When You Wake
If you wake during the night, resist the urge to toss and turn. Movement signals your body to increase alertness and can trigger adrenaline production. Instead, calmly maintain stillness while taking slow breaths, focusing on the sensation of the sheets against your skin or the coolness of air on your face. This mindful stillness often allows sleep to return naturally.
44. Apply Acupressure at Heart 7
Traditional Chinese medicine — and some emerging research — suggests that massaging the Heart 7 acupressure point (also known as the “Spirit Gate”) may help relieve anxiety-induced insomnia. To find it, look at the crease on your wrist directly below the gap between your ring and pinky fingers; you’ll feel a small hollow beside the tendon on the outer edge of your wrist. Using your thumb, gently press and massage this point in a circular motion for about a minute on each wrist. This simple technique may help you fall asleep more easily — and return to sleep if you wake up during the night.
