Why your sleep improves with evening yoga

By Swasti Bharat · Updated Thu, 24 Sept, 2026

Slow movement and long exhales switch the body into rest mode. A short evening practice helps you fall asleep sooner and wake less at night.

1. Dim the lights 30 minutes before bed.

2. Legs up the wall — 3 minutes, breathing slowly.

3. Humming bee breath (Bhramari) — 5 rounds.

Snoring loudly or gasping at night? Speak to a doctor.
