Can You Crack This Sleep Brainteaser?

Is there anything better than slipping between your sheets, pulling the blanket right up to your chin, and sliding smoothly into a deep sleep?

However, even with the best will in the world - getting that good night’s sleep is not always as easy as you’d like it to be. Whether it’s worrying about daily stresses that’s keeping you up, your brain going a million miles an hour at bedtime, or a disruptive shift pattern at work; catching those full zzz’s can sometimes feel impossible.

But don’t worry, we’ve got a fun (and more likely to work) alternative to counting sheep that’s backed by psychologists: brainteasers!

That’s right, according to Dr Meg Arroll, a chartered psychologist, a brainteaser before bed can soothe your mind from the everyday stresses and help you fall asleep:

“The human brain has a cognitive capacity. In other words, there’s a limit to how many things we can focus on at once - and this include daily stressors and concerns. That’s why occupying the mind before bed with a brainteaser can be an excellent way to switch off a buzzing brain. When the brainteaser is just tricky enough, it will use a large proportion of conscious cognitive capacity and distract from worries that can keep us up at night. Brainteasers also improve cognitive function and memory and lead to a sense of mastery, all of which contribute to psychological wellbeing.”

See if you can find all four of the beds hidden within this peaceful dreamscape. Good luck!
