]]> People have known for a long time that drinking warm milk or chamomile tea before bed can help you get a good night’s sleep. But the power of stretching exercises before bed has often been overlooked. Stretching and relaxing the muscles helps the body relax and get a full night of quality sleep. Here are three night time stretches that will help you get a good night’s sleep.

Child’s Pose

Kneel on your knees as you stretch your arms out before you. Lean forward with your arms straight outstretched in front of you until your stomach touches the floor. Hold this position for around five minutes. You will feel it stretch your arms, back, glutes and hips. It will soften your muscles for sleeping.

The Hug

Stand with both arms hugging your shoulder blades. Inhale deeply and gently push your shoulders forward. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds and then release as you exhale. This harmonizes your breathing with your body movements.

Forward Toe Touch

Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you. Lean forward and touch your toes, trying to keep your legs as straight as possible. This loosens tight muscles and relaxes you before bed.

]]> Almost everyone suffers some symptoms of stress each day. Stress is a leading cause of heart problems, poor mental health, and it’s harmful to all-round physical wellbeing. There are a number of ways that you can combat your stress levels. But one of the simplest, easiest, and least time-consuming methods for reducing stress is stretching. Let’s take a look at the changes you can expect from implementing daily stretching exercises.

Relaxes the Muscles

A lot of us carry our stress around in our muscles. A combination of sedentary lifestyles and stressful living environments makes our muscles stiff and tense. This physical state of our body increases the levels of stress that we feel. We carry most of our stress in our shoulders, neck, and lower back. If you stretch these areas daily, your mind will start relaxing as your body relaxes.

Improves Blood Circulation

Stress increases the risk of heart failure due to poor blood circulation and constricted blood vessels. Stretching not only improves circulation, but it also enhances the quality of the blood. Regular stretching and movement get the blood moving properly, and improved breathing makes the blood richer in oxygen.

Boosts Endorphins

With better blood flow, more oxygen, and relaxed muscles, the brain releases larger quantities of endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that make you feel happy, relaxed, and stress-free.
