An evening wind-down routine
A consistent, calm evening makes it easier to switch off. These are gentle ideas, so pick the ones that feel right to you.

Lower the lights
Dimming lights an hour or so before bed signals that the day is winding down.
Put the day on paper
Write three lines: one good thing, one thing to let go of and one thing for tomorrow.
Choose calming sound
Soft music or gentle waves can help you slow down. Glowsince's free Sleep mix, soft piano with gentle ocean waves, is made for this.
Build a calmer daily rhythm
Breathing, calming sounds, mood check-ins and a sleep tracker in one private journal. Free, no sign-up, and it stays on your device.

Chamomile or peppermint tea makes an easy evening ritual.
Keep it regular
Going to bed and waking at similar times each day often helps more than any single trick.
If you have ongoing trouble sleeping, snore loudly or feel very tired during the day, speak with a clinician. This is general wellness information, not medical advice.
