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?
For me, the permanent cure for hiccups was being in the hospital with broken ribs. Getting a case of the hiccups when you have broken ribs is not fun.
With pain as my teacher, I quickly learned how to stop hiccups with willpower alone. And I’ve been able to do it ever since. I get one hiccup, tell myself “that’s the last one”, and it is.
Damn, sorry you went through it, but I admit I’m jealous…
