The stress and frustration of not being able to fall asleep might be prolonged by staying in bed. To get yourself back on track for sleep, get up and try one of the following relaxing activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Practice Yoga<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many yoga poses are designed to help the body relax and de-stress. Choosing one of them to perform before bedtime will help to calm your thoughts, increase blood flow, and reduce your pulse rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Take a Few Deep Breaths<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your brain receives a cue to wind down through deep breathing, which also helps your nervous system relax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stretch Your Muscles<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body may benefit from performing a specific movement each night to signal to your brain that it is time to sleep. Stretching before bed can stimulate the release of sleep chemicals in the brain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep a Journal<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One reason you could have trouble falling asleep is that you&#8217;re mentally checking things off of your &#8220;to-do&#8221; list rather than unwinding your body and mind. Before going to sleep, journaling can help you get rid of any anxieties or lingering thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Breathe in a Relaxing Aroma<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is actual science behind how various aromas can help you relax and relieve tension. Add a scented essential oil, diffuser, or candle to your evening routine, though be sure to blow it out before falling asleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re thinking about investing in a new mattress, visit Brickell Mattress online to view our full <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickellmattress.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mattress collection<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of top brands, such as\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickellmattress.com\/mattresses-by-brand\/hastens\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hastens mattresses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which are designed specifically to help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re tired of tossing and turning after your head hits the pillow, perhaps it\u2019s time to get up and establish a better sleep routine.
