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

I usually go to bed at 8:30-9 pm, but i just sleep at 9:30 or 10pm. Sometimes i can't sleep, because of my phone or something else. But that's pretty rare.

I go around 11
because I go to gym at 8 finish at 9 and get to home around 10
from 10 to 11 I do some streches and brushing my teeth and sleep at 11

I suggest that you should wind down an hour before going to bed. Meditate, reflect, write down the things you are grateful for before going to bed, so that you will sleep peacefully anf you'll wake up happy and refreshed.

Yeah im still struggling with that honestly i myself head up to bed at 1 am😅
But here’s some results i have from some research I’ve done
It’s actually best to be sleep during 10 pm to 4 am in the morning. Eventually there is five important sleep picks at night which starts at 10 going in a cycle every 90 minutes until 4 am. Any of them has some individual tasks in order to rearrange your body health and put your hormones and stuff in order. So it’s important not to miss a single one.
Thats all I’ve got. Hope it helps😊. Have a great journey on fabulous and more important in life.😊

It's good to start thinking and getting ready for bed around 1 hour before actually going to sleep. For example, I try to get to bed at 9:30, however I would do my bedtime routine at 8:30. Another thing, after getting ready for bed (However long this takes) don't go back to screens but read. Or do something that will calm you down.

Half an hour is OK! Start with your bedtime routine at around 8.30. Do you skincare, listen to music, read a book or just stare at nowhere. Do whatever you usually like doing at night I believe in you!

Most 1 hour before as it gives you enough time to get off your phone and get little work done such as settling down and getting ready to call it a night

You should reduce/stop using all screens about an hour/90 minutes before bed.
Put your phone and/or alarm source on the other side of the room. As long as it is far away from your bed.
In that time – set your alarms for the morning. Then do whatever your evening routine is (without your phone).

You should start winding down from 8pm, so you can go to bed more relaxed, and the next morning, you will wake up more energetic. Just don't watch social media, start reading a book or, if you want to, watch netflix 🙂

My wind down starts 2 hours prior to my bedtime. I go on do not disturb & I completely unwind by staying off my phone & journaling. Make my to do list for the next day & drink a cup of chamomile tea.

I would say around an hour and a half before. This allows you to do you night time routine whilst also not going on electronics an hour before bed.

Well, it depends on your schedule and when you wake up, but I recommend going to bed before 12:00 PM and sleeping at least 8 hours a day

If you go to bed at 9pm you should start winding down at 19:30. Make sure you have a plan or to do list written down for the following day. Write down any thoughts or things that keep coming up so that you know you can tend to these things tomorrow. Put these things out of your mind for the time being. Switch off your tech, dim the lights, play soothing ambient music and take a shower with candles on. Once out of the shower, take a few minutes to stretch. Then read a few pages of a book that will relax you or even, make you think differently – if you enjoy that sort of thing. If you have a partner – affirm them, give them affection. It makes you feel good to uplift someone before saying goodbye to this day. It’s an act of kindness. Whatever you do in this hour and a half determines more than anything the day you will likely have tomorrow. More than how you wake up – even that can be changed should things start off wonky. Nonetheless, relax and be gentle with yourself.

I think 8pm is a good time to begin winding down. You have time to do multiple things then: a skincare routine, read a book, etc. You also have time to sit and think about your day. I like to list at least 3 positive things in my head that occurred in the day before I sleep. It helps to remind me that even if it seems my day was bad, there is always still good in the negative.

I think 1-2 hours is great. I’ve heard a productivity coach say he follows the 3-2-1-bed rule. No food 3 hours before bed, no work 2 hours bed bed, no screen 1 hour before bed.

I think at least 30 minutes ahead of time so that you can get ready for bed and then relax. I like to have about an hour so that I can get things ready for the next day and then read/journal a little before bed.

In my day-to-day i can't go to sleep before 10pm. Because my routine doesn't work out with my family's. So I usually start to winding down around 10-11pm.

On normal school days, I usually start winding down at 12am and sleep at 1am. If not, it’s usually an hour or thirty minutes before bed time. However, I sometime don’t even do that which is pretty sad.

I think 9 pm is a good time to go to bed! It’s not too late, gives you time to watch your TV programs and do everything you need to (unless you have an assignment or such that you need to finish) and it’s a good in-between time to relax and get into a good sleep headspace. Keep going as you are – it’s sounding great!

It obviously depends on what exactly you do before you go to bed, but if I were you, I'd try putting away my phone at 8-8:15 pm, and then see if I need to do that earlier or does it work for me if I do that later. This way you can find out thru trial and error what works best for you. Hope this helps!

Reading is a great choice, studies show that people who read before bed sleep better. Therapeutic form of art like, coloring, drawing, sketching. Meditation is another amazing idea since you are literally focusing on your breathe and clearing your mind. Yoga is nice too, because you are stretching those muscles. Taking a soothing bath or anything that brings you peace of mind.

It really depends on your routine and what works for you. If you feel a time like 9pm works, then that probably means that is the case. There is no set time that each person should start to wind down, as we as humans are all different in our own ways.

I think it depends on your routine. As I am a student and have extra curricular activities that take up a significant portion of my time, I usually have lots of things to do. However, personally, I try to finish everything until 10 pm, so I have an extra hour or two to focus on personal matters or just relax – yup, I am kind of a night owl. I recommend you to finish any activity you have for the day – that takes up mental or physical effort – and finish it up to four hours before your maximum late night hour (example: I can stay awake until 2 am without major sleepiness, so, I should end everything until 22 pm, max). That way you have time for yourself, for your bedtime routine and for your brain, eyes and body to relax well through that time period.
Hope this was helpful 🙂

I would suggest 8 pm, if you have artificial lights try buying a sunset lamp or led lights and setting them to a dark red color. Blue is one of the worst colors to be around during winding down, and red is the best.

Well, for me 30-45 minutes of preparing for the next day and listening to relaxing music is enough to get me sleepy before bed. In addition I'll recommend doing these while trying to keep your environment pretty dark to get you even more sleepy before bed. Good luck with your journey! 🙂

I find 8 a right time or 8.30, try to read a book or do a hobby that relaxes you in bed bu try not to use any device. I like read or embroider before bed.

If you go to bed at 9 pm then you should start winding down at eight. At 8:00pm you should turn off all tvs, phones, tablets etc and do something like reading, drawing tidying, etc. For about half an hour. If you have a nightime facial routine then do that for however long and then listen to some calming music before going to bed.

Well it depends how much energy you still have in you ( at least it does for me😂). If you still feel very energetic I would say 45min-1 hour. If you are not super energetic then I would say about 20-30 minutes. Before you go to bed I would suggest to just read a good book or do something creative. (Like a small little drawing or something that doesn’t require a lot of clean up.) I hope this helps!
Tip: don’t go on your phone (or do anything that can get you wake) durning your wind down time! It can keep you up longer.

It's great! Im usually going to sleep at 10pm, 9pl is vetter, because it gives you yime to relax and fall asleep easily. An hour before sleep is when you should cut off yourself from online world and screens. Read a book, meditate, stretch etc. It's going to be much easier for you to get a good night's sleep that way. Goodnight!

That is a good time to start to go to bed! Although it depends on what you are doing the next day and your age! Teenagers and growing children need more sleep than adults and if you need to wake up earlier the next day the usual try to go to bed earlier.

i usually get in bed at 9, and then read for thirty minutes and fall asleep by 9:30. that’s what has always worked best for me:)

I have usually done it 45-60 minutes before bed and I'd recommend that to you too. I'd recommend you try reading (I like comics and detective books a lot), drawing, meditate, playing games (with no electronics like cards or snake & ladders), stretch and exercise or anything really which doesn't involve a digital screen. Use the rest of the time to brush and floss 🙂 hope this helps

8 pm. Your body needs time to start relaxing before heading to bed so it is easier to fall asleep. Which that time increment is about 1 hour before

I usually go to bed around 10:30-11pm as that’s when my body begins to get tired and that’s when I’ve finished my nightly routine and getting ready for bed

I would say 7 30pm, cause then you have time to lose all your energy and relax. Otherwise you'd probably end up sleeping at 10.

You should try to get off technology at least an hour before bed, and start winding down an hour before aswell to make sure you can fall asleep easier. Try to go to bed and wind down at a consistent time so it becomes an easy habit to follow. Try to ensure you dont go on your phone an hour before bed unless it's important. If you start winding down an hour before bed you should be relaxed and ready to sleep.

I recommend winding down around 8:20-8:30. You have plenty of time to prepare yourself for bed and stop all the things you can do in the morning.

I usually do my wind down time after my nightly shower and skin care. Around 9 is fine but I would start your shower or bath around 8 then. Hopefully this helped.

What if you tired starting to wind down around 7pm?
Make sure your food is cooking for dinner, take a shower, do any night time rituals, take care of other needs. This way you have 2 whole hours before bed to prepare your mind for rest…

I think that’s a great time! I personally wind down around 10, but 9-10 are good times to go to sleep and rest. Its all really depends on when you plan on waking up!! Hope this helps!

Around 8pm is a good time to start. This allows you to disconnect from social media, prepare your bed, read, slowly stop stimulating your brain, and get it ready for sleep.This also give you time to dress into pajamas, take a shower and relax. It all prepares your body for rest <3

It is actually a great time for going to sleep . Your sleep schedule depends on the time you wake up ..! If you need to be asleep at least at 9 then I will recommend you to be in bed around 8:30 but do not use any devices just try to relax and let your body get comfortable.

I usually go to bed at 12:30 or 1 AM, it is quite unhealthy because I refuse to respect my sleeping schedule which is 11:30. It is something I must work on and will eventually achieve.

I think it’s best to put down the people phone at 8 in order to have time to brush your teeth, wash your face, or whatever you need to do to get ready for bed. Then you can use the time left until 9 to meditate, read, or whatever you like to do before bed to get you relaxed.

9pm is a good time especially if that’s a usual thing. I personally would kill to move my bedtime up but i usually go to bed around 10/10:30.

To get 8hours of sleep you should wind down around 10PM if you wake up 6AM especially you’ve got to sleep more than 8hours for your good health❤️

If you feel like you accomplished your goals or plans for the day, then yes!!! Whenever you feel like you did a good job on your tasks and it’s time to hit the sack… go for it!!! Do not go to bed when you are feeling like you could’ve done better; you will not get any good sleep.

You should wind down around 7-8 pm. This gives you enough time for your brain and body to slow down, so you can get the sleep you need.

I guess you should go to bed when you fell you’re tired. But I suggest you to take count of the hour you’re going to wake up the next day and then chose what time suit best for you to go to sleep, so in the morning you are not sleepy.

Start to relax at 8, put your phone and any electronics away at half 8. This is easy as I go to bed around the same time. And read for half an hr maybe

I would start about 8; prepare for the next day then unplug from electronics by 8:45 so you can begin to relax and truly unwind.

I’d say around 8:00 o’clock because it gives you lots of time to start a night routine and not using technology 1hr before you sleep will improve sleep quality.

You could go bed around 9 or 10 pm and make sure you always rise up before sunrise. This is because a good night sleep is important for you to have a fresh start of your next day.

If you usually go to bed around 9pm, you should start winding down around 8:30 and do not go on technology, or do things that give you energy. Instead dim lights and read a book or take time to reflex on yourself and just focus on the silence around you and clear your mind with no distractions.

Sometimes I go to bed by midnight to get up by 8am, sometimes it's 1am to get up at 9am. Sometimes I go to bed late and just naturally wake up early. I have a rare sleep disorder called short sleep syndrome so I do don't sleep regularly.

I would say try your best to be off your phone by 8 (or just an hour before you go to bed). I go to bed at 11 and I try to be in my bedroom 5 minutes before to help me to wind down. Hope this helps!!💙💙

I would try to wind down an hour in advance, so around 8pm, or 8:10pm. My personal evening routine is something like this: around 11pm I do some diary-writing, then disconnect myself from social media (put my phone on airplane mode) and try not to avoid screens. I brush my teeth and take my prescribe melatonin to become properly tired. Then I do some yoga and read until I’m tired enough to go to sleep. This usually takes about 40 minutes. it’ll take about 20minutes for me to fall asleep. So I start winding down about an hour before I want to be asleep. Hope this helps! Xx

8pm is a good time to start winding down. I recommend staying off of technology an hour before bed. That way, your mind is calming down as the night goes on.

Around 8 pm, take time for skincare, stretching, flossing, drinking water and finally falling asleep which takes around 15 minutes

I would say an hour and a half. In the first 30mins get all the things you want to do on your phone done, like put your alarms, last check on social media, etc. So by the time you hit that hour before bed you aren't on your phone which will help with your sleep. It'll also give you time to do your night time routine or read a book or anything that doesn't involve technology.

Give yourself at least 30 minutes before bedtime. During that time, don't use any screens. This gives your eyes enough of a break from blue light that it won't be a factor keeping you awake by the time you get to bed. Also, it gives you enough time to do other nightly rituals, like washing your face, brushing your teeth, etc.

I think 60-90 minutes is perhaps best for me, as it take me a while to truly wind down. There's always lose ends to tie up, things to pack for the morning, messages to respond to. That can easily eat into the winding-down time.

Check the time you decide to sleep and actually the time you sleep. For me, when I decide to sleep it takes at least 3 hours to sleep. Therefore, 3 hours before I do everything needs to be done such as wash my dishes, prepare my clothes for tomorrow, check my phone, and wear my pyjamas. And go to bed 1 hour -30 mins before my actual sleep time. And listen wind down podcast

It depends on you if you want an early start 9pm is okay, waking up at 4 to 5 is good for you , if you want time management then go to bed at 10 ,5-6 hours should be enough

I usually go to bed as soon as I finished learning course. Around 12 pm – 1 am. If I try to sleep at 8-9 pm, it's very hard to wake up in the morning

I think that’s a good and pretty common time to go to bed. So to follow that bedtime, winding down at, like, 8:30 sounds good to me.

for an adult i would say 10 or earlier and teenager probably 9-11. somewhere in between us good it won’t hurt to any earlier that’s 12

If you go to bed around 9pm I would start winding down at about 8:30 and start to unplug from any electronics and start preparing your room to go to bed

I start winding down about 8:30 which is when I do my self-care, showers, pajamas, and anything else I need to do to get ready for bed, but I don’t go to bed until 9 o’clock

9pm is fine. Just make sure you follow through until your body gets used to it and you automatically start feeling sleepy around that time.

I would start winding down around 8:30. By winding down I mean putting devices down, fixing your bed, getting something to eat, journal/devos, brush your teeth, etc. whatever you usually do before sleep I would start doing a half hour before. I go to bed around ten so I unwind and 9:30. I also like to stretch before bed

At least one hour before 9pm do relaxing things to destress before sleep, read book shower slow music talk with a friend , my favorite reflecting on your day about your character towards others and self .

It depends. Some people take 10 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour to dim the lights, listen to music or podcasts, journal or read. It really depends on whether you consider winding down to be a part of sleep, or a separate activity. To clarify, I consider winding down to be anything that happens after evening bathroom routine and before actual sleeping.

Around 7:30 it usually takes a hour to settle down in bed plus calming your mind. There for this gives you time to chill.

I love to take at least 45 minutes of winding down time before bed, I disconnect from
My phone andTV and then I will take some deep breaths and stretch and read a book in my bed and start Drifting off
To sleep . ❤️

you should start winding down at 8 and no later then that, that way you have an hour to chill and have some time for yourself.

if you go to bed around 9, in my opinion, you should start winding down around 45-60 mins before you go to bed. light a candle, put on some music and write in your journal or plan for the next day. i like to read for a bit before i go to bed because it helps to relax my mind from all the stress with school and personal life issues. i feel like if you properly feel behind before you go to sleep, you would naturally get better rest as your mind and body are both in a state of relaxation and calmness.

Well it's kind of good to sleep at 9pm. I usually sleep at 10pm but it's still good. But I would recommend to start winding down about 8-11pm.

I would suggest that you wind down at 8:25. For it takes your brain about half an hour to start shutting down. You could meditate for 5 minutes. It really helps the body to shut down. And you will see that you will fall asleep in no time.

You should wind down an hour or a half an hour before you go to bed. Like this your body will have time to adapt to night time. I wish you strength in your journey:)

i think 9 pm is the perfect time ! i go to bed at 9 pm too i start getting ready for bed at 8:30 so i think that’s a great time!

It really depends on when you wake up, choose when you will wake up and count backwards from that. You should get atleas 7 hours or sleep, 8 is ideal and 9 is a bit much but okay, you shouldn't be sleeping more than 9 hours. Hope this helps!

Its a good time and I usually go to bed at around 10pm but not later than 11 pm because I have a tendency to stay awake until midnight. During quarantine I started to adjust my sleeping schedule,I had a hard time adjusting but time flies I got used to it. Unplug everything and you can also meditate to relax your body and mind.

Well it kind of depends if you're interested in getting a lot of sleep I say you should go to bed around 7-8pm and get up at 7am
