SilverSphinx+FollowMy Go-To Sleep Hack No One Told MeI used to toss and turn for hours—my brain just wouldn’t shut up at night. After a lot of trial and error, I finally cracked the code with self-hypnosis. Here’s what actually works for me: 💡 Get comfy! Loose clothes, cozy spot, and lights out. The darker, the better for that melatonin boost. ✅ Try progressive relaxation: tense and release each muscle from your toes to your head. It’s wild how much tension you’re holding! 🔔 Breathe deep and slow. Focus on the air moving in and out. If your mind wanders, just bring it back to your breath. 💡 Picture your happy place—beach, cabin, whatever feels peaceful. The more details, the sleepier I get. Bonus: A simple mantra like “peaceful, restful sleep” on every exhale works wonders. #SleepTips #SelfHypnosis #InsomniaHelp #Health #Wellness652Share
