Try these Yoga poses to deal with possible insomnia

We’ve all experienced sleeplessness at least once in our lifetime. Most people need at least six to eight hours of sleep at night to see healthy and feel good. However, 30 per cent of adults over 45 report getting less than six-hour sleep. Experts believe sleep deprivation is associated with an increased risk of exciting, depression, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity, as well as a weakened immune system and increased inflammation in the body.
Experiencing changes in your sleep pattern as you age is quite normal. As one age, sleep gets lighter. One of the best ways to promote good sleep is to practice yoga. This article discusses yoga moves to practice before going to bed.
Balasana
Rest your chest and belly on one or two stacked pillows with knees wide apart and big toes touching. Rest an ear on the pillow, eyes closed, and jaw and belly relaxed. Your arms can rest on the sides of the pillow or underneath. Focus your attention on the nostrils and enjoy the sensation of breath flowing in and out.
Pawanmuktasana
Lying flat on your back with an optional pillow behind your head. Straighten and extend one leg before you and bend the other, hugging it toward your side body as if your knee could touch your armpit. Interlace fingers around your shin or behind the knee of your bent leg. With closed eyes and a relaxed jaw, breathe into your belly. Stay for as long as you’d like and then switch sides.
Sleeping Swan
Sit on the floor with a pillow in front of you. Bend the left knee, bringing the sole of the left foot to the right inner thigh. Lift your butt and extend your right leg behind you. Staying centred, gently hinge forward from hips, placing the head on the pillow. Extend arms forward, elbows slightly bent.
