'Sleepmaxxing' influencers offer medically unsubstantiated advice, including dangerous methods that can damage your health.

On social media, 'sleepmaxxing' influencers promote risky advice such as taping your mouth with duct tape or suspending your head with a rope. These suggestions, although viral, have no scientific backing and can be extremely dangerous, as a tragic case in China shows. Health experts warn that these methods are not only ineffective but can lead to serious accidents. In the face of misinformation, it is essential to rely on accurate information and avoid online trends that have no scientific basis.
