Stretching Before Bed Can Improve Sleep

7. Butterfly Stretch

The butterfly stretch helps relax the lower back and neck. It also keeps the inner thigh and hip muscles limber and releases toxins. Sit on the floor with your knees bend and feet flat. Let the knees fall open to the sides, so your legs make a diamond shape. Holding your feet, bend forward at the hips bringing your face closer to your feet. This pose offers benefits regardless of whether you fold forward a couple of inches, or place your chin on your feet. Relax into the position, holding it for a couple of minutes.
