TikTok’s latest sleeping hack has gone viral, with user Shapla Hoque (@shapla_11) sharing a unique tip to help users doze off. Currently boasting more than 6 million views, the unique tip has supposedly been helping TikTok viewers around the world drift off! The video advises users to soak lettuce in boiling water for 10 minutes, then remove and drink the remaining ‘lettuce tea’. Some added chamomile or peppermint flavouring is also recommended to make the beverage taste better.  If the idea of drinking hot lettuce tea doesn't appeal (and who could blame you?), the team at Otty have pulled together a list of international dishes used across the globe, which are all recommended to assist in helping you fall asleep. The Indian Moon Milk - or Golden Milk- is a common sleeping hack used across India. A spin on the classic ‘warm milk before bed’ which is well known worldwide, Moon Milk is praised for its blend of spices and herbs which make for the ultimate relaxing drink, especially in warmer climates. The traditional ingredients are milk, cinnamon, turmeric and honey, but some recipes also suggest adding in ginger, nutmeg and ground pepper.
