Yes it does, Tanmay. Relaxing the body part by part is a good way to start a meditation. Let go of all tension or stress, focus on the breath. It also helps with insomnia.

If you have anxiety or fears, let them go. You don't need to feel that way. If your mind keeps going to unpleasant thoughts, bring your mind back to your breath. No matter how many times your mind tries to think of negative thoughts, just gently bring it back to the breath.

Don't be angry with yourself for not being able to control the mind, its something we all have to deal with. Our minds are not completely under our control but by gently bringing your attention to something neutral or pleasant, you gradually get away from anxiety or negativity.

Gentle stretching before going to bed works for me. Meditation, inhaling and exhaling helps a lot too especially when I'm over stressed.
