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.

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.
