Former American gymnast Aly Raisman has revealed that she tries to keep anxiety at bay before going to sleep.

According to www.self.com, Raisman, a two-time Olympic gold-medallist, finds over-thinking and anxiety draining and harmful.

"It's really important for me to do something, whether it's stretching or a type of meditation, to help me sleep better at night. I have found that anxiety, or just overthinking things - which can also be anxiety for me - is so draining and exhausting physically too," remarked Raisman.
