Sleep expert shares eye-rolling technique to help with nighttime awakenings

A sleep expert suggests a technique to help people who wake up in the middle of the night. The "eye-rolling" method involves gently closing your eyes and rolling them upward while taking deep breaths. This may help you relax and fall back asleep. Avoid checking your phone if you wake up, as the light can disrupt your sleep cycle. Instead, focus on calming your mind with the eye-rolling technique to reduce anxiety about being awake. If waking up at night becomes a regular issue, consulting a healthcare professional is advised. Insomnia can stem from various factors, and persistent sleep disturbances may require medical attention.
