TikToker shares simple trick to help you fall asleep in two minutes

A man from the US has taken to TikTok to share a simple hack to help you fall asleep in just two minutes.

The TikToker, who goes by @YoungerYouDoc on the app, shared his hack that involves rubbing two fingers on the inside of your wrist to help you nod off.

"All you’ve got to do is rub that spot on your wrist for like two to three minutes," he explains in the video.

YoungerYouDoc added in the comments, "The wrist spot is actually an acupressure spot that has come up in several studies."

According to Healthline, "Stimulating this pressure point is associated with quieting your mind, which can help you fall asleep."
