How to Create a Relaxing Evening Routine
How you spend the last hour before bed determines the quality of your sleep and the tone of your next morning. A calming evening routine signals to your body and mind that it is time to transition from the busyness of the day to rest. Dim the lights an hour before bed. Bright light suppresses melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle. Turn off all screens or use blue light blocking glasses if you must use devices. Engage in a calming activity that you enjoy, such as reading a physical book, practicing gentle yoga, or listening to calming music. Take a warm bath or shower. The drop in body temperature when you get out signals to your brain that it is time to sleep. Prepare for the next morning by laying out clothes, packing lunch, and writing a brief to-do list to clear mental clutter. Practice a brief relaxation exercise like progressive muscle relaxation where you tense and release each muscle group from your toes to your head.
