6 Poses That Can Help You Fall Asleep Instantly

#5. On your stomach.

On Your Stomach Pose How to Do It: To practice the On Your Stomach pose, start by lying face down on a comfortable surface, using a pillow to support your hips and abdomen. This positioning helps alleviate pressure on your lower back. Next, interlock your fingers behind your back, creating a gentle stretch across your chest and shoulders.

As you inhale deeply, flex your toes and arch your back, aiming to reach your heels with your hands. This movement engages your core and encourages flexibility in your spine. Hold the position for a moment, feeling the stretch throughout your torso.

With each exhale, gradually lower your body back to the mat, allowing your muscles to relax. Repeat this exercise for 5 to 10 cycles, focusing on your breath and the sensations in your body. After completing the repetitions, gently "unlock" your fingers and release your hands to your sides, allowing your shoulders to relax.
