Giving yourself time to disconnect from the day is crucial. I give myself 1 to half an hour because it takes my body that long to get in the mood to be tired. That means nothing stimulating. Work is off the table, and no tech as much as it's feasible. Any activities before bedtime should all be relaxing. Having an evening ritual helps. I signal my body for sleepy time by changing all lights to dim warm lighting, including my handphone, and cooling the room down. Then I make a bedtime drink e.g. warm milk or non-caffienated tea while doing said light activity e.g. reading, chatting with friends, meditating, prepping for the next morning, reflection etc. until I drink finish. I brush my teeth and do my toilet business after that. By the time I return to bed, lights off and I put on aromatherapy or some meditative sleep music and drift off.<\/div>\n<\/div>
