Going to sleep is a whole ritual. Have to wait for the right point in a relationship to bring up my routine because it frightens/baffles them.
Basically I have to trick myself into sleeping because my brain is really alive at all times. No "invigorating" music half an hour before bed, sunset lamp on, double cleanse, moisturiser, eye cream, lip balm, hair oil, silk scrunchie, hand cream, brush teeth, electric blanket on full for ultimate tucking in cosiness then down to 70% for the rest of the night, take inhaler, giant t shirt on, scroll, watch ASMR/listen to guided meditation, three pillow v formation and body pillow, set three alarms, phone on do not disturb, eventually pass out from exhaustion. I have never known peace a day in my life.

my current bedtime ritual is that I have an automation on my phone to put it in grayscale at a certain time after sunset to get me not to look at it so much after dark. i like to read in bed and listen to ambient music for like 30 min to an hour each night before bed when i can and it helps quiet my mind but also makes me actually tired. there's a noticeable difference in how fast i am able to fall asleep when i do this vs staying up in bed watching videos and scrolling

i’ve finally accepted that i pretty much always need an hour or two (or three) to myself so i can wind down properly before bed. when possible i just try to start that process earlier. so if my goal is to go to bed by midnight, i retreat to my room by 9 or 10. i’ve decorated my room very cozily and in the evenings i only have string lights on so it’s dim and soothing. i shower at night most days which helps me sleep better and is a good reset for my nervous system (and also simplifies morning routine). then i curl up into the cozy corner of my room to watch my shows, play cozy games on my nintendo switch, or read if i have the mental energy. i also like to have a snack or sweet before bed (probs not the best habit but it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day). if i’m feeling sore from work, i’ll do some stretching and foam rolling which calms me alllll the way down to the point of nodding off sometimes. none of this is consistent but the whole practice of giving myself several hours to wind down slowly in a designated cozy space has really helped me have a more realistic bedtime routine.
