Lazy stretches: Deepen sleep

Your body makes germkilling antibodies while you sleep, so rest cuts recovery time by 55%. But it’s hard to sleep when you’re sick and sore! Thankfully, University of Connecticut scientists say 10 minutes of gentle “bed stretches” can cut aches by 35%, doubling your ability to sleep deeply. After getting in bed, make circles with your wrists and ankles, scrunch and relax your shoulders or pull your knees toward your chest.
