Somatic exercise to reduce insomnia #shorts

The area behind your ears, specifically the indentation behind the mastoid bone, is known in acupressure and traditional Chinese medicine as the Anmian point, which is renowned for its effectiveness in alleviating insomnia.

The Anmian point is located just behind the earlobe, in the depression behind the mastoid bone.
In traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating the Anmian point can help improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.

Mechanism of Action:
-Nervous System Regulation: Applying pressure to the Anmian point can help regulate the autonomic nervous system by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This promotes a state of relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep.
-Endorphin Release: Acupressure can stimulate the release of endorphins and other neurochemicals that have calming effects, which can help in inducing sleep.
-Blood Flow Improvement: Pressure on the Anmian point may enhance blood flow, providing better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the brain, which supports better sleep.

Instructions:
1) Find the depression just behind the earlobe, behind the mastoid bone.
2) Use your thumb or a finger to apply gentle, consistent pressure to the Anmian point.
3) Massage the area in a circular motion for a few minutes.
4) For best results, perform this regularly, especially before bedtime.
