The Two-Minute Sleep Exercise

The exercise is designed to help you fall asleep within 2 minutes in virtually any body position, even while sitting.

The Two-Minute Sleep Exercise


Stretch out and find a position that is comfortable for you. Then begin relaxing the body from top to bottom.

Face: Relaxing the face is particularly important, as facial expressions are closely linked to emotions. Close your eyes and then relax the jaw muscles, tongue, and mouth one after the other.

Upper body and arms: Relax the shoulders, neck, then arms and hands one after the other.

Legs: First relax your right thigh, then calf and foot. Then relax the left leg in the same way.
