  • Meditation is the best way to relax the body and relieve stress.
  • Try to do deep breathing exercises, which help to calm down your mind and let you sleep better.
  • Lying awake in bed does not calm down the brain, so it is important to have a good night's sleep. Thus take 7- 8 hours of sound sleep.
