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?

    Man, I still eat like shit, but when I switched to drinking only water (instead of mainly soda/juice), I was easily able to lose the excess weight that had been building up.

    No other changes. Just drink water. Only water. Water is good.

    I keep a pitcher of cold, filtered water in the mini-fridge by my desk. That shit is delicious. And I don’t even miss anything. If you’re struggling with the switch to water, get yourself some good water.

      To those consuming this, 100% try it. The first 3 or 4 days suck because your body expects calories with it’s drink and the buzz of sugar and caffeine. You can escape this by having a small chocolate with your water when you feel the craving.

      Second point, mineral content, processing, temperature, and plumbing play a big role in your enjoyment. Personally I can’t drink cold water, it has to be room temperature and tap water here is too mineral heavy. Instead I refill 5 gallon water jugs and use a water crock.
