To successfully initiate sleep, your core temperature needs to decrease by 2 to 3 degree Fahrenheit (about 1 degree Celsius). For this reason, you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that is too cold than too hot, since a room that is too cold is at least dragging your brain and body in the correct (downward) temperature direction for sleep. Warm hands and feet help your body's core cool, including inviting sleep quickly and efficiently.

With the exception of electric toothbrushes, many brush heads are too big and difficult to maneuver around your mouth. For some of my clients, I suggest a brush designed for teens or young adults. Basically, you want a brush that fits your mouth. And brushes with small heads are generally easier, especially if you have crowded teeth. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
