Dr. Sujay Kansagra spends enough time on social media to have opinions about even the most obscure sleep hacks. Often, said Dr. Kangsagra, who is a sleep physician at Duke Health, they aren\u2019t backed by strong scientific evidence.<\/p>\n

This is especially true for trends or techniques that promise instant results, he said. If you see a video claiming that listening to soothing tapping sounds<\/a> or pressing trigger points on your wrist<\/a>, for example, can help you fall asleep in seconds, it\u2019s probably not true. Still, there are some sleep strategies that do draw from legitimate science, Dr. Kansagra said.<\/p>\n

We asked him, and four other sleep experts, if some of the sleep hacks we\u2019ve seen on social media can really help you fall and stay asleep. Here\u2019s what they said to try, and what to skip.<\/p>\n
