Can you tell me any relaxation technique i can't sleep well?

This one is really : Easy. Lie on your bed. Turn out the lights. Make sure it is quiet. Breath in slowly ; deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to.
