Your body assumes it's more painful and stops feeling the pain from the other spot as much. It helps lessen the length you have to deal with the pain of the injury. I don't think this will work for gunshot wounds, or decapitations, but I haven't had the chance to test it...</p>

<p>This extends to driving, too. Shoulder checks are great but looking off to one side for more than a moment will cause you to start to drift to that side. Unless you knowingly compensate for it, then you'll probably start to drift the other way accidentally instead. </p></pre>munstre: <pre><p>There's actually an easy fix for this as well! When merging and looking over your shoulder you can move your hand from wherever you tend to place it on the wheel while driving, and instead grab the wheel at the bottom (if the wheel was a clock, it's at the 6 position), with your palm facing up. This tends to prevent any drifting while your checking the shoulders.</p></pre>reughdurgem: <pre><p>Just tried it, what the hell...

Position your bodyweight over the surface where you are making a mark and move fast and smoothly. </p>
<p>Draftsmanship is a skill and if you commit to practicing drawing straight lines where you want them to go, you can get really good at it. Even with computers, people still draw a lot of stuff freehand for industrial design because the best human draftsmen are still way way way faster than the best CAD artists. Your car, your Nike sneakers, were probably both dreamed up by some guy with a sheet of paper and some Prismacolor markers.</p>
<p>If you really get interested take a draftsmanship or technical drawing class at a local college. Until then, some more exercises: Once you can draw straight lines, try drawing a series of straight parallel lines. Then draw lines that all converge to the same point. Once you feel good about lines (1000 lines in or something) start looking up how to draw circles and ellipses. </p></pre>sailorj0ey: <pre><p>Maybe I did something wrong but I tried it and the 2 lines I drew with this method looking at the end point came out squigglier then the line I drew watching the pen. </p>

<p>Yeah you shouldn't actually look at the sun.

<p>To take his mind off it, I started asking him about his college apartment in all kinds of elaborate detail, like what kind of carpet was on the floor, what color shower curtain did they have, what sort of dishes and on what shelves were they kept etc. etc. It forced him to focus his attention on his memories of this place and not on the pain he was currently experiencing. It was successful, at least long enough for the drugs to start doing real work on the problem.</p></pre>AtTheEolian: <pre><p>Vertigo can sometimes be treated by a series of particular movements of the head. This is because it's caused by tiny crystals in your ear floating in the wrong place. There are even <a href="http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/self-help-videos-to-stop-vertigo-work-for-some-not-all-201208065110">videos on how to treat it yourself.</a> </p></pre>Zabulonian: <pre><p>For those times when you need to get rid of your pesky gag reflex:</p>
<p>Take your left thumb, fold it in to your palm, and hold it firmly in your left fist.</p>
<p>Continue to hold it as you take your right index finger and press it on the middle of your throat. Continue to hold your left thumb in your left fist until the job's done. Voila, you're freed from the limitations of your throat, at least for a little while.</p>

Working out for 20/30 minutes each day will help you, but even if it doesn't cure your insomnia it has immense benefits in other areas! Everyone owes it to themselves to work out regularly. </p>
<p>or bud</p></pre>WrathOfTheHydra: <pre><p>Several people I know with insomnia worked in an office setting. Once they started walking a few miles a day, they started being able to sleep. Like, it sounds like a duh, but if you expel practically no energy the entire day, you're going to have some during the night time.</p></pre>dvdanny: <pre><p>Also I'm pretty sure it's been proven indoor lighting really fucks up our sleep cycle. Office buildings are just the worse at this. I have to wake up at 5am Monday to Saturday to work out before heading to work. At first I was worried I couldn't do it as I always get shitty sleep (takes me 2-3 hours in bed before I would fall asleep). Once I started working out, boom best sleep I've consistently had in decades. Once 930pm hits my body just tells me to go the fuck to sleep. I'm knocked out within 30 minutes of going to bed now. I also have way more energy during the day now.</p></pre>bassdome: <pre><p>0.66667 of a minute workout?

<p>"Place the palms of your hands over your ears with fingers resting gently on the back of your head. Your middle fingers should point toward one another just above the base of your skull. Place your index fingers on top of you middle fingers and snap them (the index fingers) onto the skull making a loud, drumming noise. Repeat 40-50 times. Some people experience immediate relief with this method. Repeat several times a day for as long as necessary to reduce tinnitus.Dr. Jan Strydom, of A2Z of Health, Beauty and Fintess.org."</p></pre>arabidopsis: <pre><p>Mawp.</p></pre>Y00pDL: <pre><p>Yeah I heard about this...

<p>Thank you for sharing!</p></pre>my_name_is_gato: <pre><p>You can help loosen a plugged sinus by alternating pushing on the roof of your mouth with your tongue or thumb, then using your other hand to push just above the bridge of the nose. </p>
<p>Also, a finger up the rectum is the best hiccups cure. I'm serious. </p></pre>samfringo: <pre><p>Hmm, no wonder why I never get hiccups</p></pre>AtTheEolian: <pre><p>Although, if you want to sort out the blocked sinus, try a neti pot with the right solution though. It's incredibly weird at first, but works like a charm. </p>
<p>The second cure I will not comment on. </p></pre>The_Finglonger: <pre><p>My only familiarity with netti pots is that story about that woman who got an amoeba in her sinus, and it ate her brain. </p></pre>bluskale: <pre><p>Yeah... just be sure to use distilled or boiled (and cooled) water for this and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>That amoeba is resistant to standard chlorine levels used in municipal water treatment, so it has been an occasional issue. Mostly infections are associated with some sort of outdoor water play in non-chlorinated water. <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/08/28/491482319/a-young-woman-dies-a-teen-is-saved-after-amoebas-infect-the-brain">NPR link</a></p></pre>NZT-48Rules: <pre><p>The hiccup cure is a result of stimulating the vagus nerve.

He asked if it was bad and I said yes, I get hay fever at the start of spring every year and it lasts until fall.</p>
<p>He told me that allergies were the body's mistaken overreaction to impurities in the environment. Pollen doesn't actually do any harm in and of itself, but your body sees these small particles and does everything it can to throw off these invaders, hence the waves of mucus (to wash them out) or watery eyes, sneezing, what have you.</p>
<p>So, he said, when you feel an allergy attack coming on, use your mind to tell the rest of your body, "It's probably just pollen, which is mostly harmless. I can handle this, I'm brain, I'm pretty smart." Then go drink some water, blow your nose, and go on with life.</p>
<p>I tried it and it has greatly reduced my hay fever suffering. He also told me that the histamine effect (that's the body creating mucus and watery eyes to throw off invaders) is counteracted by <em>antihistamines</em> (of course) which are basically artificial stimulants similar to adrenaline. This was because in ancient times, if a sabre tooth tiger was coming after you, you didn't have time to deal with a bunch of sneezing and watery eyes, you needed all your faculties. So if you find yourself having a hay fever attack and don't want to take antihistamines, you can <em>think</em> about being chased by a sabre tooth tiger (or other stressful things -- I think about my bills lol) and your body will produce adrenaline which can counteract the attack.</p>
<p>It's been nearly 30 years since I learned about this. I'd say hay fever season is at least 80% better for me. Maybe it will help you!</p>
<p>Side note: He was a shit dermatologist. Removed a cyst from my arm, gave me no after care instructions, I guessed at what to do, wound up with sepsis in my arm, had to go to the ER and get powerful antibiotics. 4/13, would not recommend.</p></pre>reg3nade: <pre><p>If you are overheating or feel really warm ( from workout, or if it's really hot outside), put cold water on your wrist or neck to cool down faster. </p>

In a lot of ways... </p>
<p>I'm a very greasy and sweaty person. And sometimes my BO builds up to the point where I can still smell it fresh out of the shower. I also tend to get jock itch and athlete's foot pretty often... And have tried tons of things to fix these problems, including prescriptions, but ultimately found vinegar to be the best. </p>
<p>Just spray some on the problem area, wait a few minutes, and hop in the shower. The vinegar kills the bacteria which cause the issue. It kills odor so well you'll probably be able to get away with not using deodorant for a few days after, even. (not that you should, though...) </p>
<p>It's also a great antihistamine, instantly soothes itching. Which also makes it great on sunburns and insect stings (particularly apple cider vinegar). Not only does it make the sunburn stop itching, but it stops the pain as well, and seems to temper the sunburn into a tan. Minimizes peeling as well... I really can't emphasize enough how well it works on sunburns. More soothing and helpful than aloe, for sure. </p>
<p>It stinks, but only for about 5 minutes. And you you'll eventually get over the shock of the smell. (oh, and the first time on the scrotum will sting a little...) </p></pre>
