What is a Bedtime Routine?

A bedtime routine is a set of calming activities done before sleep to signal your body it’s time to rest. These habits help reduce stress, relax your nervous system, and prepare your brain for deep, uninterrupted sleep.

🕯️ Start your routine at the same time each night — even 20–30 minutes can make a big difference.

Why This Matters

Your body follows cues — when you create a peaceful nighttime ritual, you teach your brain when it’s safe to slow down. A strong bedtime routine can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and set a positive tone for your day.
