Sleepmaxxing is a catch-all rebranded term for maximising your sleep potential.

With nearly 125 million posts on TikTok , it's rebranded as the latest sleep-hacking trend.

Hacks include wearing blue light glasses and weighted sleep masks, eating kiwis before bed, and even pineal gland meditation.

Sleep expert Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan says people are obsessed with getting a good night's sleep and looking for solutions.

A 2021 study on white noise found it improved sleep quality for people struggling to sleep with city noise.

Research has also suggested a link between magnesium and sleep quality, as well as exposure to blue light.

Ramlakhan recommends magnesium glycinate, white noise for those who wake at the slightest noise, having a simple fan in your bedroom.
