Jordan I have always been a night owl but lately my brain just will not shut off at bedtime. What are your evening routines that actually help you transition to sleep mode?
Lisa Keep it simple! I dim all the lights at 8pm and switch to warm lighting. Then no screens after 9pm - I read physical books instead.
Sarah Chamomile tea and gentle stretching works for me. The routine signals to my body that sleep time is coming.
Casey I do a quick brain dump in a notebook - just scribble down anything on my mind for tomorrow so I can let go of it tonight.
Sam Progressive muscle relaxation is incredibly effective. Start with your toes, work your way up your body.
Alex D Racing thoughts at bedtime are often anxiety trying to solve tomorrows problems tonight. I write worries down to deal with during daylight hours.
Jordan Thank you everyone! Going to try combining a few of these. The brain dump idea plus dim lighting sounds like a good starting point.
