15 Minute Bedtime Self-Massage – Go to Sleep Relaxed and Wake Up Restored

Join me for a soothing self-massage to help you wind down, put away the day, and relax into a restorative sleep. In this video, we’ll address the areas of the body that tend to hold a lot of tension, even as we sleep, including the scalp, head, jaw, face, shoulders, and belly. We’ll also visit a few acupressure points as a yummy bonus.


Today, many of us go to bed straight from our frantic workdays, without giving ourselves time to wind down and prepare for a good sleep.


Getting quality sleep is essential for our executive functioning, immune systems, and moods, and substantially lowers our risk of serious injuries and illnesses. But when we bring our work or anxiety to bed with us, chances are we won’t sleep as much and as well and we should.


When we go to bed tense, there are tendencies to grind our teeth, creating jaw pain and dental issues. We are more susceptible to pain and spasms - often in our necks and back. We can also wake up fatigued, and have low energy throughout the day.


Make sure to put away the screens at least one-half hour before bed. The light from our devices stimulates the optic nerve, telling our bodies that it’s time to be awake. Dim the lights, and make sure the environment is quiet and calm. You can listen to relaxing music, take a warm bath, or read for leisure.


And of course, don’t forget to put this self-massage into your bedtime routine. Your body and mind will thank you!
