After a full day, it can be tempting to collapse on the couch in front of the TV to disengage from the busyness of life. A mindful nighttime ritual, on the other hand, can make evenings more purposeful, healing, and calming. These meaningful self-care moments can help ease you into sleep more quickly by quieting busy brain chatter. Over time, they may even boost overall well-being.
How
Pick practices that help you transition from the workday or wind down after dinner: a relaxing bath, yoga, or reading a good book under a cozy weighted blanket; lighting candles and listening to music or writing in a gratitude journal. Perform these rituals slowly, and avoid heavy or fraught conversations, blue light, or scrolling mindlessly online.
