The last two weeks have been very dense, and despite the COVID-19 crisis, I discovered a new way to release endorphins at night and sleep like a baby.

As you know SLEEPING well is very important, and when something so serious like the Corona Virus is going on, as humans we tend to panic, and stress and anxiety levels go up.

In times like this is when is even more important to sleep well and reboot your system at night.

So this is what I been doing.

(Remember that I try to keep things very, very simple!)

Since laughter is the best medicine, and I love to listen to stand-up comedy I started unplugging earlier, and not engaging with people (especially in my training at Kripalu), then I would lay in bed with my legs up the wall and listen to very funny humans make sh** up.

After an hour or so of laughing on my own, I play my own yoga nidra and fall asleep.

Sending your phone to Shavasana and only listening to the comedy is very important here, to actually disconnect.

Give a try and let me know what’s your favorite joke out there.

Here is a list of my top favorite comedians, hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
