When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.

Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.

What are your own examples of this?

    I have heard this can cause the retailer to email you a discount code/coupon, but that’s never happened to me so I can’t corroborate.

      This totally works on eBay. Often when I see something used that I’d like, I’ll put it in my cart and let it sit. If the vendor offers a discount then I’ll consider, if not then I guess I don’t actually need it.

      They used to do it more often. Now not so much. I think they realized people have caught onto this and stopped offering discounts
