The Best Way to Fall Asleep Fast

To keep the stress of a hectic day from following you into the night, try

diameter. Place it on the floor and lie on top of it so the towel extends
vertically down your spine, with the top edge between your shoulder blades.
Relax for 5 minutes, allowing your chest muscles to expand. this releases
pent up tension in the back and shoulders and allows for deeper breathing,
which shuts down the body's stress response so you can drift off to sleep
with ease.
