It truly works! After listening to the Amazing Sleep audio, I knew this method would help me to overcome my insomnia. The gentle movements are so easy to do and make me relax and feel calm. As I replayed the audio, I fell asleep right away, much to my husband's surprise. Since our first child was born I just couldn't sleep well. So happy to have found this method.
"Better Sleep Is Just a Gentle Movement Away"
Falling asleep is a process of slowing down, deeply rooted in the brain's neurological structures. When stressful situations and experiences challenge and trouble your body and mind, falling asleep can become more difficult, even impossible. To help you de-stress and calm down, you can do gentle movements and within minutes, feel how your body starts to relax, your mind quietens, as you move into sleep,
Too high or low support will twist your neck muscles, which can affect your whole body.
If you prefer to lie on your back, make the support thinner than when you lie on your side.
Fold the towel so that your neck feels well supported and you can roll your head easily from side to side.
Note that the alignment of your neck often reflects first the way it is when you stand or sit.
Therefore, after some time, it might be necessary to adjust the hight
If you lie on your side, create a support so that your neck is in line with your spine.
Experiment with different heights, until you feel your neck is as relaxed as possible and free to move.
If necessary combine a folded towel with a flat pillow
Be aware that some pillows get compressed during the night and won't give you consistent support.
A folded towel, on the other hand, maintains its shape very well.
Once you have created the right support for your head, move it a little backward, so that nothing or as little as possible touches your cheek.
A gentle touch on the cheek triggers a rooting reflex, which activates the neck muscles to turn your head.
Ideally, the core support is under the side of the skull, behind the ear, where you can find the center of balance of your head.
Note also that your neck doesn't need any support. Therefore, avoid squeezing a soft pillow under your neck as it will bother you by limiting body circulation and free movement.
The support you get is firm, yet comfortable and the flat surface promotes comfort and ease in movement.
Some weeks ago, my mother-in-law told she had a stiff neck every morning. When I asked her how she supported her head, she told having a basic, soft, and quite a thick pillow. I then told her how I support my head with a folded bath-towel, sometimes combined with a thin pillow. This allows me to adjust the support so that my head is well balanced and free to move. It is a great solution, functional and cheap.
As always — thanks for reading.
