Calming Sleep Routine

I used to struggle with feeling anxious before going to sleep. I had racing thoughts and this affected my sleep a lot.

So, after some time trying and learning what works for me, here is my calming sleep routine to reduce anxiety before bed.

01. Do a Brain Dump

If you have many things on your mind for the upcoming week ahead, I suggest grabbing a journal and doing a brain dump of all the tasks you anticipate ahead. This will help to release the habit of keeping a mental checklist and ease the racing thoughts

02. Keep the Lights Low

Bright lights can overstimulate an anxious mind. Before bed, stick to calm low lighting. Choose lighting that will reduce stimulation and make going to bed easy.

03. Listen to Calm Music

Along with lighting, music can help lessen an anxious mind. I suggest listening to a calm bedtime playlist as you set for bed.
