The strange tip that can help you get a good night’s sleep

We are definitely trying this!

If you’ve ever suffered from insomnia, you might identify with this and you’ve probably tried various tips and tricks in the hope of getting a good night’s sleep.

There are the standard go-tos like pillow spray, counting sheep, hot showers and chamomile tea but the sleep hack recommended by NY Mag is worth a try.

Interestingly, how quick you nod off may be related to where you place your feet and having tried it, I can say that it works very well indeed.

The Science of Sleep Institute says that sleeping with one foot outside the duvet is key for a sound sleep and it’s all to do with temperature regulation.

Apparently the colder we get, the more we’re ready for sleep and this is why keeping your feet cool can aid a good night’s kip.

FINALLY, a common sense tip that actually pays off.
