4 Simple Stretching Techniques to Help You Sleep | Uratex Blog

Have you ever tried un-stressing yourself, adjusting your sleep cycle, avoided eating some foods and STILL ended up with trouble sleeping? Well here are some more concrete ways to help you sleep. No, it doesn’t involve your cooperation throughout the daytime, but it DOES involve the last few minutes of your waking moments right before you sleep. I’m talking about stretching techniques. Now, plenty has been written about such kinds of techniques, and there are definitely more than just 4. But I’ll introduce to you the 4 simplest ones that anyone – including you, can do while on the bed itself without requiring too much flexibility.

Legs on the Wall

While lying down on your bed facing up, move to the closest wall you can put your legs on. This is pretty easy since all, if not most, beds are found right next to a wall. So raise your legs, parallel to each other, and rest them on the wall. Then move closer to the wall so that you are perpendicular to your legs, forming a right 90-degree angle between your torso and your legs. Hold this position for a couple of minutes and move on to another position.
