What time should I start winding down? I usually go to bed around 9 pm.

Wow, going to bed by 9pm is awesome! If your bed the is 9pm I would start winding down by 7pm. That gives you enough time to shut everything down and start your bed time routine

I should go to bed as soon as I can. Maybe you Are not tired, but When you JUST lay to the bed, that feeling Is so comfortable. You shouldnt be on the phone or on laptot... You should JUST lay, And for example read a book if you aren’t tired.

For me I start preparing myself to sleep at 9 or 10 PM , I switch off my phone and turn off the lights and read a book to relax my mind and be ready for sleeping🤤

I would start winding down at 8:00. Turn off the TV make a cup of tea and turn off as many lights as possible. Use some kind of scent to signal to your body that the day is ending. I use an essential oil diffuser. Then I use an app on my phone to meditate for 15 minutes, I do this laying down in my bedroom. After that I take my nightly medication and put my phone in its charger for the night (it’s in a separate room from my bedroom). Then I take my tea into my bedroom and write down three things Im grateful for. Then I pick up a book. I keep four by the bed a some nights I only get through a couple pages because at this point I am so relaxed and my body is so used to this routine that I am fully ready for sleep! Then I put in ear buds and get under the covers. I think an hour for all this is doable. If you don’t give yourself enough time in can feel rushed or a bit squished. I get under the covers to go to bed at 10:45 so I actually start my wind down at 9:00 and that feels like a lot of time and space. So yeah 8:00 pm wind down at least but experiment with it! You might find 7:30 is the sweet spot. It’s what works for you. This is just what works for me :)

you should go to bed according to your schedule, for example if you have to wake up early you should go to bed early so that you rest. the most important thing is to go to bed before midnight as our body sleeps best between 12-8 am and always sleep at least 7 hours

I recommend winding 15minutes down before you go to bed so that way you have time to give you more time to get your body to relax

If you want to be asleep by nine probably 8. But if you want try start going to sleep by 9 then that would be your wind down time

You should go a bit earlier. Perhaps 8:35 or earlier is a good time to settle in because it gives you more comfort and sleeping time. I go at around 8:50! I am trying to achieve early sleeping.

Probably it’s best at 8 or 7pm so you can have time to think about what you’ve done and focus more about rather than panicking and not being able to contemplate what your doing. Also it helps you feel much much more relaxed.

Winding down I would say for a 9pm bed time say 8pm. Gives you enough time to have a shower, do your nightly routine and get in pjs grab a nice book or listen to music and jump into bed
