What are the best ways to relax before going to bed?
Relaxation is an important part of preparing for sleep, but there is no best way and you must choose what is suiting you. There are many forms of relaxation therapy and most are easy for you to do yourself. Progressive muscle relaxation is one useful technique, where you tense and then relax different muscle groups. Antigen training also decreases bodily arousal. This involves mental exercises that switch off stress responses and help relax the body’s muscle. Some people find listening to soothing music or relaxation tapes helpful. No single relaxation technique has been shown to be more efficacious than other.
