9When your leg falls asleep, shake your head

One of the most unpleasant feelings is when your arm or leg falls asleep because of lying awkwardly. The cramps literally feel like pins and needle poking you from the inside which is why they are called so. But the only thing to do is wait. Shaking your head during the condition will make your muscles relax and the poking sensation fades within a minute.

10Pinch your nose if you want to deceive a polygraph

Pinching the tip of your nose and closing it with your fingers helps a lot when your heart is beating fast or when you’re nervous. Once you do that, then closing your ears and exhaling sharply will change the pressure inside your ear. This can also be used during a polygraph test.

11When you have to go and there is no facility nearby

Sometimes abdominal pain or cramp may induce the feeling of needing to poo badly, but there is a way to divert your body’s attention from the pain.

The same applies to pains from anxiety or stress

What is the Ganzfeld Effect?

Sounds and light are interpreted by the brain in a new way creating hallucinations and unusual effects. This is an incredible phenomenon of reality perception that has been widely known although scientists started acknowledging it and researching it only in the 20th century.
