Day 104- bedtime stretches


I don’t know what is wrong with me, but every night I get super energized at bed time.  I can’t help it.  Whenever I lay down to go to bed, I feel like I should go out and run a marathon.  I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember.  I can be struggling to keep my eyes open one minute and as soon as I lay down I have so much energy.  Every night, I have to get up and walk around my bedroom until I’m tired again.  It takes about a half hour of walking for me to settle down.  It’s weird.
Anyways, I found stretches on Pinterest that are supposed to help you sleep better.  I figure I should give them a try.  The website recommended eight stretches to reduce stress.  Let me tell you—it worked. 

I only had to walk 15 minutes after doing those stretches.  I felt so relaxed and centered.  I feel right asleep and I stayed asleep.
It was great.  Maybe I should take up yoga.
