Massage

Massage therapy, according to researchers in a 2015 study, can help people with insomnia by improving sleep quality and reducing daytime dysfunction. It might also help with pain, anxiety, and depression.

Self-massage is an option if a professional massage is not available. You could also benefit from having a massage from a partner or friend. Allow your thoughts to wander and focus on the feelings and sensations of touch. Look up tips and techniques on the internet. While massage is generally safe if you have any specific health concerns that may prevent you from getting the benefits, consult your doctor. If you have sensitive skin, try a cream or oil on a small area of skin before using it.
