You won't lose anything even if you can't sleep

When you're tired but your head won't stop generating ideas

I changed my constitution to fall asleep easily by warming my eyes while bathing or before going to bed.

However, even though my body is tired, ideas pop into my head or I start thinking about things, and I can't sleep despite being exhausted.

My head is overheating and I can't fall asleep well.
Last night was exactly like that.

The magic called "Iki-Heart-Ro" learned from Yuru Taiso

I want to sleep but I can't. I'm frustrated.

This is painful.

That's when I remembered this method.

A Yuru Taiso book I found at a bookstore a while ago.

Yuru Taiso is a set of exercises developed by Hideo Takaoka, an expert in physical movement, to loosen tension throughout the body and relax the mind and body.

It is a simple method for loosening the body that can be done anywhere.

Among them, the one I remembered for relaxing the body through breathing is this "Iki-Heart-Ro."

Imagine the inhaled breath as the "pump pressure of a massage machine"

I have arranged it quite a bit from the official method mentioned above.

The image is a massage chair.
That feeling of having your thighs and calves massaged by air pressure.

Breathe slowly as if gently massaging your shoulders, chest, back, abdomen, and lower back with the air pressure from inhaling. That's all.

Hands and feet warm up. The moment the bedroom turns into a "lukewarm hot spring"

As you breathe slowly with your abdomen, your blood circulation improves, and your hands and feet start to feel warm from your stomach to your extremities.

This sensation is just like soaking in a warm hot spring.

Relax in a hot spring mood while continuing to breathe slowly.

Feels so good ♨

You don't have to sleep. Your body recovers just by 'loosening up'.

Your consciousness fades out in a hot spring mood while lying down.
It's okay to just fall asleep like that.

Even if you can't sleep, your body will feel much better than if you were frustrated and stiff from thinking 'I can't sleep!'

The good thing about this method is
that there is no pressure to 'have to sleep'.

If you fall asleep, that's fine, and
even if you don't, your body will loosen up and rest.

A small way to cope
with nights when you can't sleep.
