How To Wind Down for Better Sleep
- Music can soothe us. Put on your favorite tunes. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it makes you happy.
- Dim the lights when you’re home at night. Use lamps, a dimmer switch, or candles to create a more serene setting.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol later in the day. Part of the winding down process actually begins during the day.
- Expose yourself to natural light in the morning or earlier in the day. It helps keep your body clock on a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
- Ramp down evening emails. Try not to read them after dinner.
