The coolness of the metal can help regulate the temperature in your sleep environment, especially during hot nights. A cooler sleeping area signals your body that it’s time for sleep by reducing your core temperature, which is key for deep, restorative rest.

5. Using a Spoon to Massage Pressure Points

Acupressure has been used for centuries to alleviate various health issues, including insomnia. A spoon can be used to apply gentle pressure to specific acupressure points that are linked to relaxation and better sleep. The Yin Tang point, located between the eyebrows, and the Heart 7 (HT7) point, located on the inside of the wrist, are two pressure points known to promote relaxation.

Here’s how to use a spoon for acupressure:

• Hold the spoon by the handle and use the rounded back to apply gentle pressure to the Yin Tang point (between the eyebrows) for a few minutes.
• Alternatively, apply the spoon to the HT7 point (inside of the wrist), pressing gently for a minute or two.

These pressure points are thought to relieve stress and promote relaxation, helping you fall asleep more easily.
