Rest your eyes by palming for one minute

Cover your closed eyes with warm palms and rest in the dark.

Why it helps

Darkness and warmth give tired eyes a break from light and focusing. Many people find it surprisingly restful.

How to do it

1. Rub your palms together until warm.
2. Cup them gently over closed eyes without pressing on the eyeballs.
3. Breathe slowly for one minute.

Make it easier
