Relaxation Techniques
Practice helps; repeated use of the techniques will improve the relaxation effect over time.

Normally, it takes about 15 to 25 minutes to fall asleep.
If you are in home isolation & having trouble falling asleep, try relaxation techniques.
Learn one or more of these techniques that you like best before deployment:
Relaxation breathing – by concentrating on your breathing, the rest of your body can relax itself
Imagery – the goal is to visualize yourself in a peaceful setting
Meditation – focus on something such as a sound, visualization, or the breath to increase awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance personal and spiritual growth
Progressive muscle relaxation – follow recorded instructions that guide you to progressively tense and relax muscle groups one at a time from head to toe; this leads to total muscle relaxation
CAUTION: Relaxation exercises should not be practiced or performed while operating a vehicle or other machinery. If you have physical, mental, and/or emotional limitations consult with your provider prior to engaging in relaxation exercises.
