Stressed Out? Start Sleeping with a Teddy Bear
Do you do this? And does anyone make fun of you for it?
CNN talked to a bunch of experts who think more adults should be sleeping with STUFFED ANIMALS.
We tend to think of it as just something for kids. But they say grown-ups can benefit from it for the same reason. Hugging something soft is just comforting.
It can help if you tend to lie in bed feeling stressed at night. And it can help you sleep, especially if you start ASSOCIATING it with sleep.
One expert said it's a lot better than relying on sleeping pills, or a glass of wine before bed.
