Stretching Before Bed Can Improve Sleep

3. Neck Stretches

These simple stretches help release tension and toxins in the neck and upper shoulders and are especially helpful if you get frequent headaches. While standing or sitting, keep your back straight and put your left hand on top of your head. Let your head fall gently to the left so that your ear gets closer to your left shoulder, letting gravity do most of the work as opposed to pulling on your neck. Hold for ten seconds, then release and repeat on the other side.
