In the video, The Science of Us Sleep Institute reveals that the key to falling asleep can be as simple as sticking a foot outside your blanket.
And there’s actually a perfectly good explanation for it.
It all has to do with the body’s core temperature. Basically, your body is more awake when it’s hot, and sleepier when it’s cold.
To help you sleep, therefore, you need to find ways to bring down your body temperature.
As it turns out, feet are the perfect tools to bring about this cooling process because they are hairless and have the right vascular structures that help in dissipating heat.
So the next time sleep eludes you, just stick your foot out. It really is that easy.
