Yoga and sleep

[Ms.Renewed]

If you've every taken a yoga class, what is the best part of it to you? For me, its at the end when I find the right relaxation position and where I feel so relaxed that I could fall asleep. Once I actually did. Well, at night, whenever I feel restless and I know I've been up all day and need sleep, I go back to my yoga class and incorporate what I do in that class to get relaxed and that is to BREATHE. Okay so specifically, if you find your mind racing or maybe have restless leg, BREATHE deep. First find a nice position. I like to be on my back with maybe a nice rolled pillow or towel under my knees with my hands by my side. Then close my eyes and BREATHE 10 slow breathes where you breathe in your nose and out your mouth and where you can hear your breath coming out but not loudly.Then after that last 10th breathing intervals, my confident thoughts are that you should be more rested or on your way to sleep.

@Ms.Renewed Hi! Thank you for sharing this. Your tips are so good and I'm more than sure that they work. 

Most nights, I have trouble sleeping and I'm always looking for a way to get more sleep and timely. Have tried a lot of things, and some have worked. However, I think this breathing exercise should work perfectly. If we get to that point in which we feel so relaxed; sleep should come through smoothly and effective. 

I will definitely try this tonight, I'm sure it will help me sleep. The only thing that is very hard for me is to get my mind blank. I'm always thinking when in bed, and that is one of the reasons why I have trouble sleeping.
