A new study discovered a simple trick to coax your brain to getting a better sleep. Researchers from Southern Illinois University, SUNY Buffalo, and St. Mary's College found that exposure to sleep-related words like "cozy," "calm," "rest," and "relax," positively affected participants' sleep.
Volunteers slept 47% longer during a brief nap and also had a significantly lower heart rate during sleep. In a followup study, the rest related words also helped people with sleep problems.
