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?

    I rolled my ankle, damaged the arch of my foot and rode my bike home because I couldn’t walk. I didn’t really have a good support system to say the least and had to rely on myself. I have a slight limp now. Definitely listen to this advice. Dr was facepalming so hard when I told him what I’d done.
