An emergency doctor has revealed an unexpected trick to quickly fall asleep and overcome intrusive thoughts. US physician Joe Whittington suggests stretching your arm above your head and drawing an infinity sign with your finger, repeating the movement until drowsiness sets in.
The technique targets the brain’s vestibular system, which regulates balance and eye movement. By following this method, you can calm your nervous system and quiet your mind. Whittington emphasizes that his trick is not a substitute for professional help, especially for those struggling with chronic insomnia.
