Insomnia is a huge problem in our sugar and caffiene-addicted country. But if we could identify the problem, we can fix it. We will sleep better and stay healthy and flexible longer.

Insomnia is one of the health problems most complained about with people of all age groups. Difficulty in falling or staying asleep can hinder all aspects of an individual’s life. People with sleep problems often experience irritability, tension, helplessness, and depression as well. While there are many causes of sleeplessness, anxiety, over work, or personal problems is often a strong factor.

If you suffer from insomnia, whether often or occasionally, yoga can help. Through relaxing physical exercise, breathing techniques, and complete relaxation, you can promote more regular and restful sleeping patterns without resorting to sleep-inducing drugs. Such drugs interfere with your body’s natural sleep cycle and can create psychological dependence and undesirable side effects.

Before going to bed, you can do a few gentle stretches to relieve tension and help you relax. It releases the lower back and hips, leaving you feeling looser and more relaxed.
