Need help unwinding at night? A few stretches for sleep can do wonders for helping a buzzing brain and tense muscles relax, making restorative rest come more easily.
While doing exercise like yoga workouts will keep you awake if we flow too close to bedtime, a couple of stretches will ease aches and niggles, and trigger the parasympathetic nervous system to take over (aka our 'rest and digest' function), which sends a signal to our brain that it's time to relax and wind down. With time, this can help us sleep better.
