Puzzles are the perfect way to relax and calm the brain at the end of a busy day and induce sleep, says Dr. Meg Aroll, licensed psychologist.
Poor sleep quality can lead to reduced productivity and higher stress levels.
“The human brain has cognitive capacity. In other words, there’s a limit to how many things we can focus on at once, and that includes everyday stressors and worries,” she said.
“That’s why occupying your mind before bed with brainstorming can be a great way to turn off your buzzing brain.”

“When the brain is ticklish enough, it will use a large part of conscious cognitive capacity and help distract us from the worries that can keep us up at night.”
He adds that there are other benefits to solving puzzles before bed.
Puzzles can also improve short-term memory, increase dopamine levels, and lower blood pressure and heart rate.
“Puzzles also improve cognitive function and memory and lead to a sense of mastery, all of which contribute to improved psychological well-being.”

The purple bed is floating in the center right part of the puzzle, and the yellow bed is right next to the white sheet, next to the sleeping woman’s elbow.
