15. Creating a Calming Sleep Routine

Embracing a calming sleep routine transforms bedtime into a cherished act of self-care. Soothing rituals like reading, gentle stretches, or aromatherapy help signal your body it’s time to unwind. Compared to irregular sleep habits, a consistent routine promotes deeper, more restorative rest. Tips include dimming the lights, limiting screen time, and incorporating relaxing scents. The Sleep Foundation highlights these strategies as keys to better sleep quality and overall well-being.
