Massage can indeed help you sleep

which is related to the impact of hormones on the autonomic nervous system.

Massage promotes the secretion of oxytocin from the brain, which can act on the autonomic nervous system, switching the body's working mode from "moving" to "quiet" and from tension to relaxation.

If our body is a building, then the autonomic nervous system is the "housekeeper" of this building. It manages trivial matters such as our breathing, heart rate, body temperature, muscle contraction, and even digestion and defecation. Physical contact during massage promotes the secretion of oxytocin in the brain, and oxytocin can inhibit the activity of sympathetic nerves. At the same time, the parasympathetic nerves are awakened, so that the heartbeat slows down, breathing becomes longer, and the tense spirit gradually becomes relaxed.

In addition, massage promotes the secretion of serotonin in the brain, which is also a good helper to improve sleep quality. So massage not only soothes the mind but also calms the body. Therefore, if you feel so comfortable that you start snoring during a massage, it is not your fault for lack of self-control.
