Building an evening wind-down you look forward to
Good sleep starts long before bed. Here is a ritual that tells your body the day is done.
Keep the wake time steady
The single most powerful sleep habit is waking at roughly the same time each day, including weekends. Your body clock anchors to it.
Thirty minutes of softness
Dim the lights, put the phone in another room, and do something slow: a warm shower, stretching, reading on paper. Write tomorrow’s to-do list so your mind can stop rehearsing it.
A happy thought before closing your eyes
End the day by bringing one good moment to mind in as much detail as you can. It is a gentle way to give your thoughts somewhere kind to rest.
