Sleeping is good. Sleeping at work is bad. Here's how to get zzs tonight so you're awake tomorrow! Progressive muscle relaxation is a tried and true technique for easing into a restful night's sleep. Warning: Don't try this in the office! Lie down on your back with your arms slightly away from your body and your palms facing up. Focus on your feet and ankles, noticing if they are painful or tense. Tighten the muscles briefly to feel the sensation. Then, let the feet sink into the bed. Feel them getting heavy, allowing them to float away from consciousness. Very slowly move your attention upward through different parts of your body. Relax your calves, thighs, lower back, hips, and pelvis. Move to the middle back, abdomen, upper back, shoulders, arms, and hands. Finish with your neck, jaw, tongue, and scalp. Once you reach your head, relax any spots that are still tense. Breathe gently as you drift off to the dreams of a productive tomorrow!
