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 think that’s good advice! We should all try and be a bit more attuned to our senses.

    Helps with personal hygiene, too 🤫😅. But - at least for me - a disconnect with our sense of smell largrly comes from living in a city, spending too much time indoors, and spending too much time in our own space which smells like us. So having bad hygiene makes it harder to smell which makes it harder to identify that we have bad hygiene!!

    But yeah, I follow my nose a lot more than other people and it makes the world a much more interesting place. People who’ve been to a lot of food markets, perhaps at christmas, understand this.
