It's amazing how those stretches bring circulation and calmness to achy muscles which leads to much easier sleep. But it sure takes discipline to do it!

Maybe if you cut out 99% of the things and rituals you have to get through, it would clear your mind, and make it easier to get to sleep?
Luckily I am a male, and it's a well proven fact that men can only think of, or do one thing at a time. So I do have that advantage!
