I was listening to a doctor talk about his 7 pillars of health and he started mentioning insomnia. So, of course my ears perked up and I learned a new way to get rid of insomnia.

He was talking about laughter. I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase, “laughter is the best medicine.” People always say how good laughter is for you too. Well, he said that one way to cure insomnia is by laughing.

Now, he had a very detailed biological reason for why laughter fights insomnia but frankly, I don’t remember it all. I guess what happens is that you laugh (and not a giggle but a belly laugh) and that helps you get to a state relaxation and releases certain things within your body. This combination helps you to sleep.

It’s worth a try anyway, isn’t it? If you’re having trouble sleeping, why don’t you try reading some funny comics, cracking some jokes with someone close to you or watching some funny videos online. There are tons of them. Think of it as “laughter therapy”. I just might go get some myself.
