Give it something gentle to do instead.\n\nIf your mind starts racing the minute you get into bed, or you're addicted to late-night scrolling, easy brain puzzles can help.\n\nBedtime Brain Games: 8-Letter Wordoku gives you a calmer way to end the day. Each puzzle gives your mind a task to pull your attention away from worries, but they're easy enough to help you relax.\n\nBacked by sleep research\n\nCognitive scientist Dr. Luc Beaudoin of Simon Fraser University developed a technique called “cognitive shuffling,” which means focusing the mind on neutral, unemotional words and images to interrupt the worry loop that keeps people awake. In a study of 154 university students with racing thoughts at bedtime (presented at SLEEP 2016), the technique reduced mental arousal and sleep effort, and improved how participants rated their sleep quality.\n\nWordoku follows the same idea. A simple, neutral puzzle holds your attention so worries have less room. It’s also screen-free, pen-and-paper relaxation that fits naturally into a wind-down routine.\n\nInside this book:\n\n100 wordoku puzzles, each built around a single 8-letter word\nGrids with 2×4 boxes: every row, column, and box contains each letter of the word exactly once\nEasy-to-follow instructions so you can start tonight, even if you’ve never played sudoku\nFull solutions at the back to check your answers\nPortable 6×9 size, easy to keep on your nightstand\nScreen-free relaxation, a calmer alternative to late-night scrolling\n\nHow to play: Fill the grid so each row, column, and 2×4 box contains every letter of the puzzle word exactly once. If you like sudoku, crosswords, or word searches, you’ll pick it up in minutes.\n\nPerfect for:\n\nAdults building a relaxing bedtime routine\nAnyone whose mind races when the lights go out\nPuzzle lovers looking for a fresh twist on classic sudoku\nA thoughtful gift for the friend who’s “always tired but can’t sleep”\n\nTrade the glow of your phone for a pencil and a few quiet minutes. Add Bedtime Brain Games: 8-Letter Wordoku to your nightstand tonight.\n\nThis book is intended for relaxation and entertainment and is not a substitute for medical advice. If you have ongoing sleep trouble, please consult a healthcare professional.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67735532568942,"sku":"epjpv4","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/5724\/5038\/files\/gj5ew2k-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1791845750","url":"https:\/\/kiplingcreative.com\/products\/bedtime-brain-games-8-letter-wordoku","provider":"Kipling Creative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
