When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.

Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.

What are your own examples of this?

    When microwaving a thick food, like pasta, there’sa risk of the “deepest” part being cold from lack of microwave penetration. Shift the contents of the plate into a donut shape, so most of it is on the sides and a gap in the center, before microwaving. That helps the heat penetrate evenly.

      You mean it creates a thinner section for the induction currents to set up. There is no heat that penetrates in a microwave, it’s an induction oven. It’s the meal itself that generates the heat.
