Add a Wind-Down Routine for Travel

Sleep while traveling is easier when you have a small routine to slow down. Use the Stretch Routine App for light travel stretches, or the Yoga App for breathing and gentle movement.

A saved routine keeps those steps ready for future flights or long travel days.
