Weird Sleep Hacks Club
By Eli Mercer on
Okay, so we all know the “normal” sleep tips: weighted blankets, lavender sprays, white noise… yada yada. But what about the weird ones?
Here’s mine:
When my brain refuses to shut off at night, I’ll put on a super casual YouTube video — the kind where it’s just friends hanging out, talking about nothing important, maybe playing a silly game.
Then I imagine I’m sitting quietly in the corner, part of the group but not pressured to say a word. It feels like being invisible in the coziest way, safe, calm, just existing there. And before I know it… zzz. 💤
It sounds a little odd, but it tricks my brain into feeling relaxed and included, and honestly, it works better than counting sheep.
Now I’m curious 👀 what’s your weirdest (but surprisingly effective) sleep trick?
