Stretching is low hanging fruit that everyone should be picking to help their overall well-being. The reason it’s low hanging fruit is because it’s easy to take a few minutes out of your day, to improve circulation, help reduce muscle tension, and produce a sense of calm that can carry you into bed. Stretching allows your body to release endorphins, which naturally lift your mood. It’s hard to think about the rigors of your life when you are attempting to reach farther than your body is used to. If you’re full of anxiety and stress, take the time to focus that energy into yourself while stretching. You will increase your blood flow to your muscles, easing any aches and pains you may have, hopefully taking your mind off life for just a minute. Perfect time to do this is right before bed.
Stretching before bed can set you up for success for the night to come. A gentle stretching routine will help tell your body that it’s time for bed, enhancing your relaxation, and improving your sleep quality. Have you ever woken up stiff and sore? It will help that too. A nightly stretch routine gets you out of your head, into your body so that you can let go of that day’s built-up tension and stress. Not only does this routine lead to a more restful night of sleep, you are more likely to reach a state of deep sleep too. On top of all stretching before bed can improve your flexibility over time, making you more ready to take on the day in the morning.
