There are a lot of things one can do. These are activities, that I sometimes do before going to sleep or to make myself sleepy: Writing a diary, stretching in bed, reading a book, drinking water or tea, warm bath.
read a good book! or try meditating with the ten percent happier app. meditation helps helps me unwind after a long day (and you can listen without looking at the screen).
I like to turn off electronics an hour before bed and read for at least 30 minute, while enjoying a cup of tea. Then I start my nightly routine of brushing my teeth, skin/hair care and make a nice dark sleeping environment in my room.
A book of any sort is always my go to answer. Don’t like to read ? Try w graphic novel ( there are some masterpieces out there, believe me ) or listen to an audiobook. I always put nature sounds in the background (rain/forest) as they help me unwind.
You can read a book or listen to music. If you feel you can relax by being active, I recommend cleaning your closet. Or write in the journal.
Read a book or magazine, journal, meditate, listen to music, play cards/board games with family, do a puzzle, do some spa/self care like a bath or face mask... just some ideas. I usually journal, read and meditate before bed. I do use a meditation app but I just start the meditation and turn my screen off so I don’t spend time on it.
My boyfriend and I are reading the same book series. We do our evening routine to get ready and when in bed we discuss the books then read for about 30 minutes to wind down.
You can read a book, clean up your room (a tidy room makes you feel more relaxed), listen to a audio book or calm music.
You can stretch, read a book, take a short walk, or simply unwind with some self-care. You can listen to a good story in a podcast, do a puzzle or draw. Light a candle, make yourself a snack and look out the window. And if you are into it, meditate to settle in to evening mode.
Stretching and meditation. Feel every strand of your muscles pull and glide over each other. Write all the things you are grateful for that happened today. Color something fun. Read one chapter of a book you’ve always wanted read. Do a puzzle.
