Stretching Before Bed Can Improve Sleep

5. Happy Baby Pose

The happy baby pose also comes from yoga, and again gets its name from children -- specifically, the way babies tend to lie when on their backs. This pose is good for releasing tension in the spine, inner groin, and hips. Lying on your back, bring your knees and feet up in the air. With your knees bent and your feet flexed, grab onto the outer edges of your feet with your hands. Pull your hands down so that your knees get pulled towards the floor. Rocking back and forth can enhance the stretch of the position.
