How to prepare for a good night: Stop reading work emails
Figure out a boundary that works for you (as soon as you leave the office for example) and stick to it.

Put your PJs on early
If you’re not leaving the house the rest of the night, you are 100 percent cleared to put on your pajamas as soon as you walk in the door.
Hair can go into a messy bun, contact lenses can be removed, and the big cozy socks can come out. You are done looking like a human for the day.

Make dinner
Even if you’re just making yourself a sandwich, there’s something rewarding, soothing, and just nice about making your own dinner.
You won’t have to spend any extra money, you won’t have to wait for delivery, and you won’t have to settle when part of the order inevitably shows up wrong.

Have some tea for a good night
Certain teas (like Earl Grey, chai, and some green teas) contain enough caffeine that they might keep you up.
But herbal teas like ginger and chamomile can help you wind down. Drink it for the sleep aid or just because you like the routine.

Set a pre-bedtime alarm
In addition to your morning alarm, consider setting one for the nighttime too.
Let’s say you like to be in bed every night by 11 and it takes you an hour to wash up and really wind down. Then you should set your alarm for 10 and it will remind you that it’s time to get your routine started.
