This weekend I had a really hard time getting to sleep. I'm in the process of planning a house warming party and I get caught up in thinking about all of the little details every time I hit the pillow.

I'm nervous because I've never planned a party like this before, but I'm also excited because everyone that I know will get to see my new house!

I wish I would have known about this sleeping trick sooner! A new study found that there's a trick called the "4-7-8" exercise that claims it can make you fall asleep in under a minute. If you can already fall asleep that fast, congratulations.

Here's how it works:

Press the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth and leave it there. Apparently it's some kind of breathing technique used in yoga.

Next, let all of your air out through your mouth while making a "whooshing" sound while you do it.

Now, close your mouth and breathe in through your nose for four seconds. Hold your breath for five seconds.

Slowly let your air out through your mouth for eight seconds. Make the "whooshing" sounds while you let the air out. Repeat this process three times. Let me know if it works for you!
