Description
Poor sleep can wreak havoc on your waking life, leaving you grumpy and unwell. But when you’re staring at the ceiling, counting sheep, worried that sleep may never come . . . what can you do? Well, Trick Yourself to Sleep—with 222 simple strategies and creative tips, all scientifically backed:
- Cover up clocks (stop stressing over every restless minute)
- Eat two kiwis (their folates and antioxidants aid sleep)
- Stick out your tongue (this releases tension in the jaw)
- Try a weighted blanket (it’s like giving your nervous system a hug)
- Make a list (and then set those to-dos aside until tomorrow)!

This is a great book to use if you have trouble getting to sleep at night. The layout is very easy to use and is divided in several subsections for you to explore. It is in a list format with a paragraph or two explaining the strategy. Many are things you've heard of of course, but there are plenty off the beaten path suggestions.

Having trouble sleeping? Maybe always? Maybe sometimes? If your answer is yes, this book is worth a look. It is full of tips for sleep, organized by different types of "tricks." A few of the chapter headings include Mind Tricks, Food and Drink Tips, Breathing Trick and Tips of Taking the Stress Out of the Day. The suggestions are short and practical and definitely designed to be helpful. Readers will know some of them but maybe not all.
This title is worth a look. It can be read in any order and may just help you to get more zzzs.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great resource for those that have trouble falling asleep. I like how the book is separated into sections with brief descriptions versus being a regular book with all of the information together. Some of the information is stuff that I have heard of before, but some of it is different and worth a try.
