As if the growing levels of stress isn’t enough, we now have an equally high number of distractions ( Netflix and chill) that do a great of job of distracting us temporarily from the stress but also distract us from getting a good night’s sleep. While staying away from screens and sipping on some tea might help calm you down, sometimes even that isn't enough to make you fall asleep. Well, fret not because we have just the solution to your problem. And that solution is yoga. Ahead are some asanas that will help you sleep faster.

Lie down on the floor with your back firmly on the ground or mat. Bring your feet together to make your soles touch. Try to pull your feet towards your pelvis while your knees fall open. Place your left hand on your heart and your right hand on your abdomen. Breathe evenly and relax.

For this pose, you'll have to lie down on your back and position yourself in a way that your tailbone is pointing at the base of a wall. Then, place the bottom of one foot on the wall and then place your other foot on the thigh of the leg on the wall. Stay this way for a bit and then switch legs.

Lie down on your back and then bring your legs together. Gently twist your lower body on one side and fold your legs so that your knees are bent. Stretch your arms out on each side and hold this pose for a bit. Once done, switch sides with your legs.

Ananda Balasana, also known as the happy baby pose, helps to relieve pain in the abdominal region. It also puts you in a calmer state of mind. This pose can help give your body a good stretch. It can also help tackle stress and fatigue so you can get a good night's sleep.

Flowing in between these two poses is easy and effortless. You don't need to be a yoga expert to practise Marjaryasana and Bitilasana. In fact, it is a great start for beginners. While you are in the flow of cat cow pose, make sure to inhale and exhale slowly. Practise this a few times before you come back to atabletop position and end the practice.

In the Virasana pose, you have to ensure your glutes are resting on your heels while you are in a seated a position. This pose helps to give your knees and ankles a good stretch and improve blood circulation in these areas. Don't forget to also practice a calming breath pattern. This will help put you in a calm state of mind just before bed.

This is one of the easiest poses to opt for. Sit upright on the floor without exerting too much pressure on your spine and fold your legs inward. Sit this way and breathe in and breathe out until you start to feel sleepy. Then lie down and you should drift off to sleep in no time.

For this, you need to lie down on your yoga mat while facing the wall and swing your legs up in such a way that they rest on the wall completely from your hip to your heels. If you feel a little uncomfortable, you may inch a little further away from the wall. Keep your hands in whatever position feels the most comfortable.

Sit on your bed with your feet extended in front of you. It's alright if they're plopping to the side. Then place a pillow between your legs and then bend over to grab your feet in the most comfortable manner possible. Rest on the pillow in this position and ensure that there's no pressure being exerted anywhere (you can bend your knees). Lie down when you start to doze off.
