3 Acupressure Points for a Calmer Bedtime
A 2-minute wind-down you can do in bed — no tools, no apps. Not a cure, just a small habit that helps your body slow down. Most people feel the difference after 1–2 weeks of doing it nightly.
HT7 · Shenmen
On the crease of your inner wrist, just below the pinky side. Press gently for 30 seconds on each side with slow breaths.
KI1 · Yongquan
Center of the sole, about a third down from the toes. Rub in slow circles with your thumb — grounding before sleep.
Yintang
Between the eyebrows, at the bridge of the nose. A light touch here, breathe out slow — the classic "let go" point.
How to use it
- Lights off, lying down. One point at a time.
- Press or rub each for 30 seconds — don't rush, match your breathing.
- Do all three, then let your hands rest. That's the whole routine.
- Keep it up for 1–2 weeks before judging. A habit beats a one-off.
