3 Moves to Help You Fall Asleep Fast

Hi everyone, I’m Sarn. Thanks for joining me today, or tonight as it may be. If you’ve found this video, you’re probably ready to get some shut-eye. Instead of talking your ear off, let's focus on unwinding together.

To begin, ensure you have a comfortable spot, ideally on your bed. Follow these gentle exercises designed to relax your body and mind, allowing sleep to naturally take over.

Start by positioning yourself where the wall meets the floor. Recline your body back and lift your feet straight up against the wall. Stay in this position, breathing deeply through your diaphragm.

Proceed to the edge of your bed and sit down. Use your fingers to gently massage the occipital muscles located at the base of your skull, easing any built-up stress.

For this step, we’ll focus on releasing spinal tension. Engage in some gentle twists, ensuring to breathe deliberately and rhythmically with each movement.

Lie down in your bed comfortably. Curl your head and shoulders up towards your knees, hugging them tightly. Then, fully release, sinking back into your bed. Repeat this motion while breathing deeply.

Transition into a deeper state of relaxation by maintaining deep, diaphragmatic breaths. Pay attention as tension leaves your body and you sink further into your bed.

Close your eyes and bring awareness to your head, neck, and shoulders. Release any tension you may hold in these areas.

Shift focus down your body: let your arms, forearms, wrists, and hands feel completely at ease. Move to your stomach, lower back, and hips, exhaling to relax deeply.

Direct your awareness to your thighs, calves, and ankles. Unclench, let go of tension, and experience your legs growing heavy as they sink into the surface.

Finally, bring your attention to your feet; breathe deeply, then exhale fully, letting every part of you settle more profoundly into rest.
