I like to come home from work and eat dinner at like 5:30 go on a little walk Then I like to turn off all the harsh lighting and try not to listen to any sort of music higher than a certain BPM. And then I take a nice long shower and put my pjs on and either journal or read or play guitar. Usually end up falling asleep with the book in my hand so I have one of those little book nightlights that you clip onto the book itself so I don’t have to get up too much to turn off the lights. I don’t really go on my phone or check my messages as soon as I get out of the shower unless it’s to change the music I’m listening to (Ichiko Aoba or some soft jazz has been my favs recently). But whatever works for you! I find that winding down hours before sleep has always helped me so i don’t feel rushed in any way.
