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?
