Having trouble falling asleep? Want to increase positivity in your life? Try this trick to make yourself happier and sleep better.

Before you go to bed at night, try asking yourself a simple question: What was good about today? Mentally walk through your day, focusing on feeling grateful for the moments of your day that went well, and the positive interactions and experiences you had, no matter how small.

This easy practice has multiple benefits.

• It engages your brain in a way that makes it easier to fall asleep.
• Studies show that positive thinking immediately before sleep leads to more pleasant dreams.
• Focusing on positive moments helps you appreciate them and be more mindful about facilitating more of them.
