Our tip of the day for people with insomnia:
When you go to bed to sleep, stretch you back. The more simple way is by leaving your legs and knees stretched and trying to touch your feet with your hands. Reach as far as you can, but remain there. Try to stay in that stretched position for a minute, and feel how your whole back relaxes little by little from the tension of the stretching. Try to remain in the stretching position, feeling your muscles relaxing little by little, and stretching more little by little.
Another way to do it, which is even better, is lying on the floor (ideally on a carpet or a mat); lift your stretched legs on top of your head and try touch the floor with your feet. Just reach as far as you can, but without forcing yourself too much. This is a Pilates exercise that is very good for stretching your back. Stay for at least a minute in that position, but be careful not to feel too dizzy and pass-out (the thing is that if you force yourself too much you may feel that the blood stops flowing to your head).
As in the previous exercise, stay stretching for a minute or two until you feel your back relaxing completely, and reaching more and more in the stretching. When you finish, lower your legs slowly, so that your vertebrates do contact with the floor one by one.
Both these exercise are not only very good for your back, but the relaxation they bring are very helpful to induce sleep when you just go to bed.
