Help, I can't fall asleep!

Whether it's a headache during the week or difficulty falling asleep on a Sunday evening, there are many reasons why we have trouble getting to sleep. But it can usually be reduced to one common denominator: We are simply not relaxed! Now, not everyone has the time or inclination to do yoga or meditation exercises before going to bed, which is why we are now suggesting this SOS solution.

Tighten your knees, bend them and sleep better

You can even do this exercise when you are already lying in bed: lie flat on your back and pull your knees towards your chest until they touch them. Experienced people can also pull their knees towards their forehead. Wrap your arms tightly around your legs. Hold this position for a moment and repeat it a few times. Breathe in and out deeply. The effect: hips and back relax - and the breathing techniques help to reduce stress. Anyone can try this great exercise in the evening!
