I bet you don’t know this trick: Try cutting up three lemons and placing them on your bedside table at night.

Sleeping next to freshly cut lemons has plenty of benefits:

  • Your hangovers will be lighter and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed.
  • You’ll have more energy during the day than if you drank an energy drink.

It’s a simple trick, but it should improve your quality of life.
