Stress and tension accumulated throughout the day can cause problems falling asleep.
In this case, a simple set of exercises and a couple of useful tips will come to the rescue.
Exercises before bed
The essence of these exercises is to improve blood circulation and activate energy in the body, which helps to achieve a state of rest.
Muscles relax, thoughts calm down and worries fade into the background. This helps you fall asleep faster.
Start with the head. You need to relax the neck muscles and tilt your head slightly down without straining it.
Then they begin to shake their head lightly, as if it were caught in light waves. The muscles do not tense up.
Then turn your head slightly to the left and raise your left shoulder and continue the same movements. Do the same with the right shoulder.
This practice is called qigong. It stimulates blood circulation in the upper body and relieves tension in the shoulders and neck.
The exercises are performed for 2-5 minutes immediately before bed.
To increase the effectiveness of the exercises, you can drink herbal tea in the evening. For example, a drink made from chamomile or mint.
In addition, you should avoid using electronic devices 1-2 hours before bed.
