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’ve never understood that last one. Assuming I am otherwise physically healthy and don’t have any foreign objects in my mouth, I can’t really taste anything but neutrality. Technically I can probably taste saliva, but I think my brain filters that out and noting it doesn’t seem like it would help anyway.
Unless I’m misinterpreting and I’m supposed to go lick something during a panic attack. I know I’ve read that biting into a lemon can help.
