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?

    It’s not just that it acts like a radiator. Feet are also not very sensitive, so if they’re a little cold it won’t bother you. You could obviously get rid of a lot more heat by exposing your torso, but it will feel cold much sooner.
