Lifestyle News Desk, There can be many reasons for the problem of sleeplessness. Some of which are eating heavy food at night i.e. oily spicy food, using cell phone while lying on the bed, etc. So first of all stay away from these things. This means that eat as light food as possible at night, drink less water so that you do not have to go to the bathroom frequently because this also interrupts sleep. Apart from this, not much, just take out 5-10 minutes to do the yoga asanas mentioned here.
Lie down on your back on the mat.
Keep both feet together.
While taking a deep breath, lift both legs together.
Keep your legs in the air for 15 to 20 seconds.
As you exhale, lower your legs.
Do this at least three times.
Balasana (Child Pose)
Vajrasana means sitting with both the legs folded.
While inhaling, raise both the hands upwards.
As you exhale, lower both your front hands and rest them on the mat. Keep your head on the mat as well. In this position, breathe in and out comfortably.
Try doing this two to three times.
Janu Shirshasana
Sit with both legs spread out in front.
Bend one leg and place it near the thigh of the other leg.
Again, raise both hands up while inhaling.
Now, as you exhale, lower your hand and bring your head as close to your knee as possible.
Remain in this position according to your capacity.
Then raise your hands and return to normal position. Practice this with the other leg as well.
Do this with both legs at least twice.
Anand Balasana
To do this asana, lie down comfortably on your back.
Bend your legs and bring them up.
Now hold the toe with your hands and pull it. Pull the right foot with the right hand and the left foot with the left hand. This is a good stretch in the hip.
Also practice doing this two to three times.
Supta Baddhakonasana
Lie down on your back.
Bend both legs and bring your toes together.
This will give a good stretch to your thighs and hips.
Repeat this also two to three times.
Supta Matsyendrasana
To do this asana, lie down on your back.
Fold the right leg and place it near the left leg and open the right hand in line with the shoulder. Keep your neck on the right side.
The same process has to be done with the left leg also.
Do this hope twice.
