Imagine lying in bed every night, exhausted but unable to fall asleep. The clock ticks away, and frustration builds as the world around you seems to rest effortlessly. This was the reality for me.
For months, I battled sleepless nights. Stress and racing thoughts would keep me awake, and when I did sleep, its half sleep with thoughts still running around. I tried all the typical advice: warm milk, cutting caffeine, and even meditation apps. Yet, the cycle continued.
What started to make the biggest difference for me is no screen time 60 mins before the sleep and instead reading some book.
Foot massage can be an effective remedy for sleep disorders by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Stimulating specific pressure points on the feet can help release tension, increase circulation, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and relaxation. This can lead to lower cortisol levels, easing anxiety and helping to calm the mind before bedtime. Additionally, regular foot massages may improve overall sleep quality by enhancing blood flow and encouraging deeper, more restful sleep, making it a natural and soothing method for those struggling with insomnia or other sleep-related issues.
Thanks. Can you pls share what are specific pressure points on the feet that help release tension?
