quickly(denverskindoc\/TikTok)<\/cite><\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Dr Scott Walter, shared his video on his @DenverSkindoc\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/tiktok\">TikTok<\/a>\u00a0page last week and has received a heap of thank yous from previously sleepless viewers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cI am a doctor and sometimes I have trouble falling asleep and I am going to tell you about the method that was like a light switch moment for me once I learned it,\u201d he said in the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cNo, it doesn\u2019t involve taking like melatonin or other supplements, it doesn\u2019t involve taking a hot shower before bed or even reading or something like that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cIt is a simple mental exercise we call cognitive shuffling, have you heard of it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Walter then continued to explain how the exercise works and how it can easily put you off to sleep in minutes, rather than tossing and turning in bed for hours.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiktok-embed_tiktok__FJOwE\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\"><iframe title=\"7368264490028404014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/7368264490028404014\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s a way to reorganize your thoughts, similar to shuffling a deck of cards. Basically distracting your mind from conscious thought patterns that may keep you awake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cOne way to do it is to just think of random words or objects that have nothing to do with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">So, I suppose like the opposite of a word association, random association I suppose would be a good name for the exercise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Walter then explained a second way you can do this exercise and achieve the same goal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blta48b0083d54aaad6\/664b4ff55b1c1ad540be7c7e\/GettyImages-1603103109.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"Walter explained how the exercises can easily put you off to sleep in minutes rather than tossing and turning in bed for hours.(Getty Stock Image)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Walter explained how the exercises can easily put you off to sleep in minutes rather than tossing and turning in bed for hours.(Getty Stock Image)<\/cite><\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He continued: \u201cIf you don\u2019t like random, there\u2019s another method, first you pick a letter of the alphabet.
