Does sleep need a sense of ritual? The brain loves a sense of routine. Repeating the same bedtime actions at a fixed time every day, such as changing into pajamas, brushing teeth, and turning off the light, can help establish a mental connection to the idea that it’s time to go to sleep.
It is recommended that you set aside 30 minutes a day for relaxation. You may choose to listen to soft music, do some light stretching, read a paperback book, or engage in deep breathing and mindfulness exercises. A regular, predictable bedtime routine will not only help you fall asleep faster, but also improve your overall sleep quality.
