Added 2020-05-26 23:05:34 +0000 UTCBefore the pandemic a third of Americans used some form of drug (prescription/over-the-counter/recreational) in order to sleep. I don’t know of any current studies, but we can all be pretty sure that even more people are struggling with getting a good night’s sleep now than ever before. Here is a simple remedy for those who have been waking up at 3am. These gentle twists work in several ways. First, they aide in digestion. If issues from a nervous stomach are making you uncomfortable and keeping you awake, this will help literally move things along. Second, twists wring out our internal organs which helps to detoxify our system. The gentle twists squeeze impurities from where they have accumulated so that they can be processed and eliminated. Third, and most importantly for a good night’s sleep, they detoxify the mind. The cross body movement of your legs going in one direction while your neck and head go in the opposite direction balance the two hemispheres of the brain and create a calm, centered state of mind free of the toxic thoughts that keep us awake at night.
Next time you are staring at the ceiling praying for sleep, try these for about 5-10 minutes. Sync the movement with slow deep breathes. And be sure not to poke your partner in the eye with your elbows. ✌️
