Evening routine ☁️
As soon as it gets dark - dim the lighting, lamps and candles on
6pm - take the girls up for bath and wind down - this is when I turn down my bedroom and lay out everything I need for my routine (setting the environment is KEY for implementing new habits, make it harder NOT to do it).
6:10pm - skincare and teeth while the girls are in the bath
6:30/7pm - stories and put the girls to bed
7/7:30pm - house reset + take magnesium
8:30pm - gentle yoga practice (I don’t do this every night, I wish I did. My sleep is always 10x better when I do, confirmed by )
9pm - 10 minute meditation with red light mask in bed
9:10pm - journaling - reflecting on the day and to-do list for tomorrow
9:20pm - read
9:30/10pm - sleep
This is just an example and was an indulgent routine where I got to do lots of the things that prepare me SO well for sleep. Sometimes it looks more like lying with Ophelia until 8:30pm getting into bed writing for 5 minutes, reading and going to sleep.
No matter what I’m doing or how late it is I ALWAYS do some form of mini nighttime routine because it really is something I cant live without now, perhaps I’ll share my very condensed version soon. Would that be helpful?
What are your non negotiables to wind down for sleep? ☁️
