Many people struggle to fall asleep due to various factors like noise pollution and racing thoughts. While there are numerous tips and tricks to aid in sleeping, not all methods work for everyone. However, a social media user named Heather Gordon shared a unique technique that she claims helps her and her family fall asleep quickly.

Heather suggests a simple eye movement exercise to help with sleep. This method involves closing your eyes and moving them in different directions, such as up, down, left, right, and in circular motions. By repeating these movements, Heather believes it can facilitate falling back asleep.

According to Heather, this technique is particularly useful when waking up in the middle of the night but can also assist those struggling to initially fall asleep. Many commenters on Heather’s post have tried the method and confirmed its effectiveness in aiding them to return to sleep.

In addition to such hacks, the NHS Every Mind Matters campaign provides various recommendations to improve sleep quality. These include establishing a consistent bedtime routine, avoiding electronic devices before sleep, not forcing sleep, and enhancing sleep through diet and exercise. Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, but it is advised to avoid strenuous exercises close to bedtime if they disrupt sleep patterns.
