Why a Wind-Down Routine Matters
Signals Your Brain
Consistent routines create sleep associations that trigger melatonin release.
Reduces Stress
Calming activities lower cortisol and help you transition from the day.
Faster Sleep Onset
People with routines fall asleep 30% faster on average.
Better Sleep Quality
Properly winding down leads to deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Be consistent: Do the same activities in the same order every night
- Start early: Begin at least 30-60 minutes before your target bedtime
- Keep it realistic: Choose activities you'll actually do
- Minimize decisions: Lay out clothes, prep the next day in advance
