As we continue your 7 Day Sleep Comfort Plan, we now introduce gentle evening movement. Stretching, light yoga, or mindful mobility can relax tight muscles, lower cortisol levels, and help you ease into sleep more naturally.
🧘 Did You Know?
Just 10–15 minutes of gentle stretching before bed can significantly reduce sleep latency and improve deep sleep cycles.
Quick Tips
- Focus on slow, intentional stretches like neck rolls, forward bends, or leg stretches.
- Use a mat or soft rug to support joints and reduce tension.
- Stretch in a quiet, dimly lit environment to reinforce bedtime cues.

Sanggol Body Pillow to support your knees or back during floor stretches.
