Did you know that certain folkloric circles believe that leaving dirty dishes in the sink can keep you awake at night? On a day where you are advised to ‘Stay Up All Night,’ I wanted to share another reason you may be having a hard time falling asleep. According to author Debra Dadd, polyester-cotton sheets are coated with formaldehyde, a substance known to cause insomnia. Of course, making sure that what you see right before falling to sleep doesn’t stimulate you in any way is also imperative for good sleep. For occasional bouts of insomnia you may want to try the classic folk remedy of putting a small pillow filled with celery seeds under your usual pillow. This is believed to be an antidote to staying up all night that will allow you to finally have sweet dreams.
