Can’t Sleep After a Scary Movie? Try This!

Ever watched something creepy and then couldn’t sleep? Yeah, me too. It’s the worst when your brain just won’t shut up about that jump scare. Here’s what actually helps: First, distract yourself—listen to a chill podcast or read something light. According to the Sleep Foundation, positive distractions can really calm your mind. Second, tweak your space. Turn on a soft nightlight or play some quiet music. By this for making your room feel safer. If your thoughts are still racing, remind yourself it’s just fiction. I literally tell myself, “It’s just a movie, not real life.” And if you’re still spooked, text a friend or cuddle a pet. Sometimes you just need a little company to shake off the heebie-jeebies. #SleepTips #AfterScaryMovies #RestEasy #Health #Wellness
