1. Yoga
Boost your physical activity to relieve stress, reduce anxiety and tire out the body. According to a post on Life’d, unless we find a way to incorporate some exercise into our daily routine, your body may not be tired enough to sleep well at night – even though your mind is exhausted.
Try gentle yoga exercises and poses before bed to relieve tension in the body, calm down nerves and quiet the mind.
I need to add #3 to my list tonight. To unplug at night should do the trick for me.
@Trinity: Adding the white man or ditching the electronics :-O
@Rachel: white men are that special huh, we always have to point them out.
exercising a couple of hours before bed helps me personally…it wipes me out at just the right time…
i can’t drink tea or any liquids before bed because it might wake me up during the night but chamomile is amazing for destressing in general. I used to drink loads of it in university.
The best thing i’ve done is taking my cellphone and laptop OUT of my room when I need to go to bed. I just personally need that extreme! I don’t know how people can have TV’s in their rooms (unless like my parents it’s hardly on)…
