There are a lot of different things that you can do in order to help you if you are having a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. Unfortunately, many of these things are going to take additional effort on our part but if we are persistent in doing them, we will be able to reap the rewards. Although we should make sure of what we are eating and stay away from any kind of stimulating drinks whenever it is close to bedtime, something that many people are missing is exercise. I know what you are probably thinking. Exercising does take effort and many of us only consider exercise to be something that makes us break a sweat. The fact of the matter is, there are certain types of exercise that we can do which are actually quite relaxing. A good example of this is stretching exercises. Not only is this going to help our bodies to get into shape but it will also do so without making us go through any sort of rigorous activity. One of the things that stretching will do for us is to release serotonin into our systems. Serotonin naturally makes us feel better and puts us into a good mood. If you are having a difficult time sleeping because you are dealing with stressful situations and cannot get them off of your mind, serotonin may be able to help you in this regard. Another reason why it is good is because it put your body back into balance which is one of the main reasons why people are dealing with insomnia in the first place. Yes, the details may differ but it is almost always a lack of balance in the body. It is not necessary for you to do a lot of stretching on a daily basis. As a matter of fact, just getting up and stretching on occasion and then perhaps doing a stretching routine for 15 to 20 minutes per day is all that is necessary to see some changes take place. There are plenty of DVDs which you can buy that will walk you through every step of the process. Take your time and really allow your body and mind to relax whenever you're going through your stretching exercises. You will probably find that within a week, you are able to sleep better as a result.
