There are endless sleep hacks that promise to help you get a good night’s sleep, and many of those can be found on TikTok. The latest tip promising to give you “the best sleep of your life” is to wrap a sweatshirt around your head. “It’s so comfortable. I don’t know how to explain it,” Callie Galey said in a video with over 19 million views. “It works wonders.”
Galey wraps the sweatshirt over her eyes and around her head and then loops the sleeves under her chin. Her eyes and mouth are, of course, not covered. While some people commenting on the video called the hack crazy and suffocating, there may be some truth to it – and a reason why it might make you sleep well. Much like swaddling a baby, the wrap creates a sense of security and comfort, says sleep expert Dr. Jessica Andrade.
