In the past, it was thought that exercising before sleeping was not good as it had a negative impact on your body. But, a recent study in 2018 states that you can exercise before bed as long as it is at least one hour before bedtime.
Exercising right before bedtime can decrease the quality of your sleep. Doing intense or strenuous exercising can leave your body energetic and with a high temperature. If you try to sleep in such a state, it will take you a long time to be able to sleep.
Here are some easy exercises you can do before going to bed to have a good night’s sleep.
Child’s Pose
A child’s pose is one of the best exercises you can do before bed. Practicing child's pose is excellent for people sitting all day as it helps you relax your thighs, hips, and lower spine, which are constantly under strain. It also increases blood circulation to your head.
Bear Hug
This exercise will allow you to relieve your shoulders and your upper back muscles. By doing this exercise, you can stretch your shoulder muscles which can increase the range of motion of your arms. It can also soothe any shoulder pain caused by muscle stiffness.
Neck Stretch
If your stress is not removed before you go to bed, it can hinder your sleep, and you will not wake up fresh for the following day. For this, you can do the neck stretch. Neck stretch before bedtime has fantastic effects on your sleep quality. It helps to release the tension in your neck, and helps you calm your nerves.
