Night Routine: 12 Relaxing Things To Do To Get A Good Night Sleep

1) Prep For The Better Sleep

There are some things that I do and recommend them as well. These are especially good if you are feeling burned out and feeling like you are not getting any time off for yourself.

Usually there are little habits that make a huge difference in life. And to keep that in mind, here are 4 ideas that you can practice that will not only help you have a good sleep but also boost your mood, feeling relaxed and get ready for the next day with a positive mindset, which is very important.

1) Take a warm bath.
2) Reset yourself with the help of journaling. (Check out night journal prompts).
3) Read and listen to something relaxing.
4) Light a candle to boost your mood. (10 scented candle recommendations).

2) Cook Some Delicious Dinner

Some people want their dinner to be the heaviest meal of the day while others want to keep it light, it depends on you how you like it but cook yourself a delicious dinner and have it at least 3 hours before going to bed so it won’t disrupt your sleep.

You could also plan a meal in advance if you often feel confused as to what to make.

Additionally, you may also get your favorite food delivered to you at times. There is nothing wrong with ordering foods or going outside to eat as long as you don’t make it a habit.

If you live with your family, Cooking and enjoying food together can be a fun activity for the whole family. If you do not, enjoy your food while watching something you like.

Just avoid binging unhealthy snacks at midnight. It’s not good at all.

3) Don’t Use Electronics

Using your mobile and laptops can be the worst thing you could do before bedtime. Here’s why:

When you look at screens like phones or tablets before bedtime, the light they give off can make it harder for you to fall asleep. That’s because this light tricks your brain into thinking it’s still daytime, so it doesn’t release the chemicals needed to make you feel sleepy.

Also, when you watch videos or play games, it can get your brain all excited. This makes it tough for your brain to calm down and get ready for sleep.

Even if you manage to fall asleep after using electronics, your sleep might not be as good. That’s because your sleep can get interrupted by the light and activity from the screens.

So, it’s a good idea to not use the electronics at least an hour before bedtime. Instead, try doing activities I have mentioned above.

I know it might not be as easy as it sounds but once you start getting serious about it, it will get easier and you will feel the difference it makes and I am pretty sure, you won’t regret doing it.

4) Prioritize Quality

This might not apply in your daily day to day routine but it is equally important to mention as a lot of us don’t really think about these things even though they are equally important.

We use them on an everyday basis and they affect our sleeping experience, such as your pillows and mattresses. Not only do they have to feel like a big hug and cozy, they need to be comfortable and of a good quality and clean.

And most of the time when you invest in good quality products, they not only give you better experience but also last longer.

I hope you liked this night routine post. If you did, I hope you like these as well.
