Viral Video On TikTok Says ‘Hostage Routine’ Sleep Is Great But We Have Doubts
Almost everyone has a sleep routine that they follow. Whether it’s reading a book, watching a TV show, or listening to music, all of us have ways that help us fall asleep. A TikTok video is going viral of a woman’s ‘Hostage Routine’ sleep hack and I have some doubts about this. It looks uncomfortable and a bit creepy.
According to MSN, Hannah Chody from Austin has a complex set-up to get some shut eye. Her video on TikTok at @hannahchody, is going viral and in the video, she explains how she gets the ‘best sleep ever. Her husband tells her she looks like someone ‘being held hostage’, and he’s not lying. Chody says it helps her get a good nights sleep.
Her routine involves a few steps and I gotta tell you, just reading what she does is freaking me out. Here is her routine:
- Turning on a sound machine for background white noise .
- Wearing a silk eye mask to block light.
- Lying on her back, with her head on a “face pillow,” which is stacked on top of other pillows. The face pillow has a carved-out space for her neck.
- Putting a “sleep crown” pillow over the top of her head and eye mask, used to block out light and sound.
- Securing her mouth with sleep tape, which promotes breathing through your nose while sleeping and prevents snoring.
Chody’s video has over 10 million views and folks have thoughts about her routine. Many are saying that her routine makes them feel ‘claustrophobic’ and ‘anxious’. And I totally agree! The tape over her mouth along with the pillows on head are a lot. Now, I’ll say that if I have a bad sinus headache, I’ll put a pillow over my eyes. For whatever reason, the pressure and the blocking out of light helps.
Despite the naysayers, Chody says this routine has made her feel better because she gets amazing sleep. Would you try this? You can see all the steps executed below.
