YOGA FOR SLEEP ISSUES:- One of the most crucial things that the human body needs to function properly is sleep.
1. PAWANMUKTASANA:- Lie on your back or get into the supine position with your arms at your sides. As you exhale, lower your thighs to your stomach and lift your knees to your chest. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, lift your head off the floor until it touches your knees. Maintain this pose by taking slow, deep breaths in and out.
2. MANDUKASANA FROG POSE:- As you sit in Vajrasana, extend your arms out in front of you. Your remaining four fingers should be on top of your thumb as you clench your fist. Bend your arms at the elbows and place your balled-up fists above your navel. You should want your upper body to be bent and over your lower body. Look forward, stretching your neck.
3. SHALABHASANA (Locust Pose):- Take a deep breath in (Pooraka), hold it for a moment (Kumbha), and then lift your legs up with your feet together and knees straight. Put your forehead or chin on the ground. Ten seconds in the position, hold it, then slowly lower your legs. After this, exhale (rechak). This breathing exercise has therapeutic benefits.
4. COBRA POSE (Bhujangasana):- While lying on your stomach, place your palms just below your shoulders. Keep both your feet together and on the ground. You should raise your head, shoulders and chest at an angle of 30 degrees by taking a deep breath and pausing for a while. Make sure your head is slightly lifted off the floor, your shoulders are broad, and your navel is still on the floor. The pressure on your toes opens the Sun and Moon channels, which are connected to your lower back. Stay in this position for 10 seconds.
5. Stay away from stress and anxiety:- Due to pressure of deadlines and demands of work, our professional life can be very stressful and anxious at times. Many people experience cumulative stress from their long days at work and may have trouble sleeping. The problem with one night's sleep is that it usually interferes with your next day and can start a chain reaction that results in several sleepless nights. Therefore, it is essential that you try to relax your mind before sleeping.
