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?


If you get that feeling where you need to sneeze but it’s not quite enough for a full sneeze, say the word grapefruit. 60% of the time it works every time
There’s a spot on the bridge of your nose you can rub and it stimulates the sneeze out of you
Also right under your nose, push your finger against your mustache space
Edit: Oh wait, that prevents the sneeze. I read the comment wrong
For me it’s just looking at something bright.
The uses of “ACHOO syndrome”!
Aka the photic sneeze reflex.
Apparently not everyone has this reflex.
Wait, are you saying you can look at a bright light to suppress a sneeze? I used to work with a guy who said bright light sometimes made him sneeze.
Looking at significantly bright lights cause the muscles of your face and sinuses to contract which can force a sneeze. It won’t cancel the sneeze, it just makes it happen on your own terms.
If you say pamplemousse instead, the sneeze will sound fancier.
I don’t care how fancy it is, I don’t like pample flavoured mousse.
And if you don’t want to sneeze, put a finger under your nose like a fake mustache
That’s not how you grapefruit your man
