Sleepmaxxing: Because Counting Sheep Just Isn’t Cutting It Anymore

Remember when a good night’s sleep meant dozing off during the 10 o’clock news and waking up feeling refreshed? These days, it’s more like waking up at 2:17 AM wondering why your elbow itches, why the ceiling fan sounds weird, and whether you ever fell asleep in the first place.

Enter sleepmaxxing—the internet’s latest obsession with turning bedtime into a competitive sport. From kiwis before bed (yes, the fruit) to taping your mouth shut (on purpose!), this trend promises to help you sleep like a baby. Or at least like a baby who doesn’t wake up for bathroom breaks, hot flashes, or mysterious leg cramps.

So if you’ve tried warm milk, white noise, and flipping the pillow to the cool side (twice), this article might just have the trick you didn’t know you needed—or the one you’ll laugh about over coffee with your friends tomorrow.
