Build a gentle bedtime routine
A simple wind-down that feels realistic.
Why it matters
A repeatable evening routine can help signal that it is time to rest. Start small and adjust it to your household and schedule.
Practical ideas to try
- Choose a wind-down period before your intended bedtime.
- Lower bright lighting and switch to calmer activities.
- Prepare tomorrow’s essentials earlier to reduce last-minute stress.
- Keep the routine flexible rather than treating it as a test.
