Sick with clogged sinuses? Put your head between your legs while standing for 10 seconds, and then shoot back to a upright position and blow your nose, you'll be able to breath for a few minutes. I call it the "Bend and Snot."

4.

Clench your left fist to subdue your gag reflex. Helps me with brushing my tongue and others with other things.

Take an espresso right before a power nap. The caffeine will kick in about 20 minutes later and make you feel more energized after waking.

6.

If you have a leg cramp - pull back your big toe and it will alleviate the cramp.

Lift with your legs, not your back.

8.

If you have a sneeze that's on the edge but needs that extra push to get it to go, look into a bright light.

10.

If you're hungry, drink some water, you might not actually be hungry.

11.

Push yourself to do something good for yourself even if you dont want to (something like diet or exercise) and stick to it. Doing it once or twice you wont want to do it again because your body is still adapting. But after a while it will become a habit. I went on a bike ride every day during my summer break and when winter rolled around I started to realize that I relied on that ride as much as eating. I got really jittery if I didn't ride that day.

12.

Hiccupping is largely psychosomatic and it can be cured by betting the person hiccuping a fiver he won't hiccup again. Works 80-90% of the time.

13.

If you enter a room and forget what you have to do, move your eyes sideways, it helps jog your memory.

If you wake up with your arm asleep because you were laying on it, the fastest way to make it "wake up" is to stick your arm straight up in the air and let the blood drain back down. Then lay your arm flat and allow blood flow to resume normally.

15.

I have fairly low blood pressure and I often get dizzy if I get up too abruptly. If it happens, clench your abdominal muscles to force blood back upwards and it goes away immediately.

16.

When people are together in a group, look at the direction of people's feet to see who they are interested in talking to.

17.

Having a good sleep schedule (9-5 or 10-6), and going to sleep when you are tired (you have to make yourself tired throughout the day, preferably with a bit of exercise). Makes waking up really easy and your mornings will be full of energy.

18.

Drink more water. Always.If you feel at all off, emotionally, drink a large glass of water, whether you're anxious, angry, or sad. That doesn't always fix it, but sometimes it does, and if it didn't, at least you're a little more hydrated.When you wake up in the morning, drink a large glass of water before anything else. You will feel more awake, and you may avoid morning constipation.
