How do you do Progressive Muscle Relaxation?
Start at your toes: tense the muscles for 5 seconds, then release for 30 seconds, noticing the contrast. Move up through calves, thighs, abdomen, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and face. The whole sequence takes 10-20 minutes. Ambient sounds like rain or ocean waves can help maintain focus.
Does PMR help with insomnia?
Yes, PMR is one of the most well-researched non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia. The American Psychological Association recommends it as a first-line intervention. Combining PMR with consistent ambient sounds can create a powerful sleep-onset routine.
