Woman discovers trick for falling asleep instantly after 25-year struggle

The big return to work after Christmas means early mornings and stricter routines, but it's not always easy to fall back into a healthy sleep pattern. The weird and wonderful limbo between Christmas and New Year often throws our schedules out the window, and rich food and booze don't help you drift off to sleep either.
All of this combined with the shock to our system that January can bring means this week can be a huge struggle for Brits struggling to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. There are endless sleep hacks and products that claim to help you drift off, from so-called sleepy cocktails to banning blue light exposure. But one woman says she's managed to cure her restless nights thanks to a simple hack which helped her fall asleep 'instantly' after 25 years of struggling.
Pasha Marlowe, who goes by the name @neuroqueercoach, took to TikTok to share how she had been using the 'cognitive shuffling' to fall asleep and claims it's a real game-changer. She said: "If your mind is like mine, it's very active, it's hard to quiet it at night.".
Plauged by an endless to-do list and busy schedule, Pasha says she's always found it hard to drift off, but now swears by the cognitive shuffling technique. According to experts, it's a form of cognitive behavioral therapy and the goal is to disrupt your thought patterns by focusing on words, phrases or images to help your mind relax.
