When trying to get a good night’s sleep, you want to do stretches and exercises that don’t wake up your spine, so try not to extend your back or open up your chest area before going to sleep.


A piriformis stretch is a great way to help relax the glute area and relax the lower body.


Next, is a double knee to chest stretch. Make sure everything is in alignment, and that you are not getting any pinching in the front of your hips.


Finally, legs up the wall helps with lymphatic drainage. This is a great way to relax the whole body and help with sleep.
