Too stressed to sleep? Try this.
A regular bedtime routine is a great way to tell your brain that it's time to relax and switch off. Start with a warm shower or bath, then get into some comfortable nightwear and put your phone into 'Do not disturb mode'; needless to say, avoid checking the news and doomscrolling through Twitter.
Other things that can help you unwind include a mindful skincare routine, giving yourself a foot massage, spritzing your bedding with a bit of lavender essential oil, or unwinding with a few chapters of a book or some soothing music. And don't underestimate the power of a few minutes of meditation for calming racing thoughts, particularly before bed.
Similarly, making a to-do list for the next day is another way to de-stress before bed, while if you wake up in the night with troubling thoughts, write them down in your journal so you can go back to them in the morning, rather than letting them bounce around your brain all night.
