Let me be the first to say that falling asleep is a process. Maybe Ikea can help.

Insomniacs have tried it all: herbal teas, blue light filters, melatonin pills, cutting back on caffeine. But few things really help an insomniac fall asleep like boredom. 

Ikea launched a 14-day-long livestream on YouTube to celebrate its Festival of Sleep, a 12-day campaign to help Australians sleep better.
