Along with CHOP’s sleep hygiene guidelines, there are several simple, integrative practices that you and your child can do each night to promote a restful sleep. These practices include yoga, massage, acupressure, and progressive muscle relaxation.

Below are just a few examples of how to incorporate yoga to promote a restful sleep. The postures can be done on a mat on the floor or in the hospital bed.
