As anyone who knows me would say, I am a self-declared insomniac since I started college. \u00a0Over the years, I have picked up on a few tips that have really “helped” me get a better night’s rest.<\/p>\n

\"sleep\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Check every social media site you participate in before lying in bed.<\/p>\n

2. Keep your phone on full volume in case anyone needs to get a hold of you. There could be an emergency.<\/p>\n

3. Lie in bed making mental lists of everything you need to do the next day so you\u2019re sure you’ll remember it the next morning.<\/p>\n

4. Drink caffeinated soda, it helps get the sleep hormones active.<\/p>\n

5. Watch a few episodes on Netflix. \u00a0Staring at screens tires your eyes and therefore you sleep more soundly. Science.<\/p>\n

6. Do your work and study for class while in bed. Sleeping on it (literally) will help you remember more.<\/p>\n

7. Think about all the people you have possibly offended, and think of ways you can apologize to them.<\/p>\n

8. Have a constant background noise – like a ticking clock. Incessant ticking can ease your mind to sleep.<\/p>\n

9. Stay comfortable by switching sides constantly. Try using two pillows. Try out new positions. Hold your breath periodically.<\/p>\n

10. Release excess tension by blogging in the middle of the night. Get it off your chest &\u00a0onto the web, you’ll sleep soundly \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

By doing the exact opposite of the tips and tricks written here, one might actually get a good night’s rest. \u00a0The content of this post is sarcastic. \u00a0This sentence is written for other people like me in the world who might get kind of confused.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
