Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

NOTE

Calm the Mind, Stretch the Body before Sleep

Establish a bedtime routine that optimally prepares the body for sleep through a structured approach: three hours before bed, avoid eating; two hours before, refrain from drinking; and one hour before, turn off all screens and electronics. In the hour leading up to sleep, engage in activities that lower the energy of the central nervous system and induce a calm, relaxed state. While reading is commonly recommended, select material carefully to avoid stimulating, anxiety-inducing content. Instead, focus on static stretching combined with deep breathing. This approach allows for the gradual lengthening of muscles and promotes relaxation, effectively aiding in calming the body and mind as one transitions to sleep.
