Yes. Turning your head increases the coverage. The same thing is true for mirrors in your car. But since car mirrors are much bigger (and farther away), it's not quite as necessary,

No. This isn't really possible given the small size of the mirror.

"Counter rotate" your lower body.

Turn your body very slightly in the opposite direction you are turning your head. It's a bit like "doing the twist".

Another way to do this is to relax the grip of the hand/arm you are turning your head towards.

With a mirror, you don't have to turn your head much at all.
