Roughly an hour before sleep, allow the environment around you to dim. Slower lights, softer sounds, slower movement.
Switch from overhead lights to lower lamps. Put away the laundry, tidy a single surface, brew something warm. The aim is gentle preparation, not productivity.
If a screen must be used, lower the brightness and keep the content unhurried.
Reflection does not require pages of writing. A few honest sentences in response to one or two of these prompts is enough.
What was one moment today I would like to remember, however small?
What is something I am ready to set down before tomorrow?
What is one gentle intention I would like to carry into the morning?
A simple sequence to invite the body toward sleep. Each step is optional — leave anything that does not fit your evening.
A minute or two of slow forward folds and gentle side bends.
Five longer exhales to invite the nervous system to soften.
A few pages of something unhurried — fiction, poetry, an essay.
Lights low, devices away, allowing sleep to arrive in its own time.
