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 can’t find a comfortable temperature when you’re sleeping under blankets, just stick one foot, and maybe part of your lower leg, out from under of the blankets. It acts like a radiator, and will release much of your excess heat.
A kid showed this to me at a childhood slumber party, and it’s been a useful tip ever since.
The Snorkel is god-tier advice.
I’m not taking advice from an obvious night monster.
The real trick is to put the foot out, then pull it over the blanket so the foot’s surrounded by blanket.
From the view of creatures under the bed, all they see is the blanket.
Seriously, did night monsters write this post?!
But then the monsters might eat my foot!
Really though: I have a visceral aversion to having my feet exposed like that. If I’m lying down or even sitting on the couch, my feet must be covered. I could have no other blankets, except on my feet.
Yeah, you have a different issue.
