7 Days to Better Sleep

Seven evening practices, each 8 to 20 minutes, to help your body and mind wind down. Do them shortly before bed, or a couple of hours earlier if you like. Each day builds a little on the last.

What you’ll do

About 1½ hours of practice across 7 days. A quiet space, a mat or a soft surface, and comfortable clothes. Dim the lights and silence your phone.
