Hum like a bee
Yes, really. ‘This is a fantastic technique called “brahmaree”,’ explains Anandi, The Sleep Guru. ‘Try to spend at least 10 minutes humming like a bumble bee before you go to bed. This creates a deeply healing vibration and relaxes the mind and nervous system, getting rid of negative emotions and stimulating the sleep hormone serotonin. It will also draw you inwards away from the constant train of distracting thoughts. Just close your mouth, inhale through your nose and exhale by humming.’ (OK, it might really annoy your partner – but it’ll be worth it if it works!)
