The Simple Eye Movement Trick That Promises to Help You Fall Back Asleep Fast
A new sleep hack, reportedly discovered on Instagram, is gaining traction for its surprising effectiveness in helping individuals fall back asleep after waking during the night. Jenna, a social media user, shared her personal experience and data from her Oura ring, demonstrating a significant improvement in her sleep patterns since adopting the technique. The method involves a simple series of eye movements performed with closed eyes: looking right, then left, then up, then down, followed by rotating the eyes in a full circle in both directions. Jenna claims to have seen immediate results, with her sleep data showing fewer instances of waking and a more restful night's sleep. According to Jenna, the science behind this seemingly unconventional trick lies in its ability to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. By mimicking the rapid eye movements characteristic of the REM sleep cycle, the brain is reportedly tricked into transitioning back into a deeper sleep state. While further scientific validation may be needed, many online users are expressing interest in trying this accessible and drug-free approach to improving sleep quality.
