After a long day, all we want is to relax. But some of us have trouble having a good night’s sleep. The reason behind this is that your muscles are stiff from working! Try all of these 4 tricks by BRIGHT SIDE, and you’ll sleep like a baby in no time.
1. Wind-relieving pose
This pose helps to relieve the entire spine, especially the lower back and thighs. This also regulates the work of the intestine.
Instructions:
Lie on your back and relax. Bend your knees, then reach your hand forward on the inhale and wrap it around your knees. On the exhale, hug your knees and press them to your stomach. Breathe deeply. Stay in this position for 8 to 10 breaths about 1 minute.
2. Feet on the wall
This position rests your legs and back. It allows your lungs to be filled with oxygen.
Instructions:
Put a folded pillow next to the wall or at the end of your bed, then lie down on it and press your buttocks against the wall or at the end of the bed. Next, lift your feet to the wall and spread your arms to the sides. Relax and breathe calmly. Stay in this position for about 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Wave exercises
Instructions:
Step 1:
Lie on your back and place rolled towels under your neck and waist. Swing your feet from one side to the other. While doing this, shake your head from side to side without straining your back or neck. Relax completely. Do this for about 1 minute.
Step 2:
Lie on your stomach with your arms at the sides and your toes resting on the bed. Place a pillow or towel under your forehead, then shake your feet side to side. Do this for 1 minute.
4. Shavasana
Instructions:
Lie down on your back and slightly spread your legs with your palms up. Place a folded towel under your head and neck, then relax your body gradually. Do 20 respiratory cycles, gradually prolonging inhales and exhales.
