Night Routine Checklist


Night Routine Checklist: 

Having certain steps each night is important to unwind and relax for a good night of rest. The following tips should help lead you to a better night of sleep and relaxation: 

  • Stay away from unhealthy snacks
At night it's not very healthy to eat treats and desserts, they'll leave you feeling bloated and too full. Try to stop eating a few hours before you prepare to sleep in order to feel more comfortable. 
  • Turn off phone
The Bluelight that emits from your phone can disturb your sleep at night. Try your best to stay away from screens at least one hour before you close your eyes.
  • Write a to-do list 
The worst feeling is being in a rush for the morning. At night, it's a great idea to write a to-do list for the next day. This also clears your mind and allows you to fall into sleep faster. While you write this new list, you can check off your list from the long day you just finished. 
  • Prepare for tomorrow    
For even more preparation for the next day, it's a great idea to plan outfits, pack your bags, and plan your next breakfast. Doing these small tasks at night can save time in the morning and relieve the early morning stresses. 
  • Follow a routine
Following a pretty similar routine each night can trigger a response for your body to be tired. Your body should adapt and know that it's time to sleep when you head into your regimens. This can include; taking a warm shower, flossing, brushing your teeth, washing your face, moisturizing, and putting on comfortable pajamas. 
  • Read

Reading at night is a great way to relax and calm the mind before sleep. When choosing a book, pick a happy and less stressful option. Reading for at least 10 minutes every night can be very beneficial for your mind to relax. 
  • Unwind
If you're someone with a busy mind before sleeping, you may want to consider unwinding even more with meditation or breathing exercises. Guided videos can be very soothing and further relax full minds. 
  • Go to bed earlier
Going to bed earlier can allow you to wake up even earlier the next day for a smoother beginning. Try your very best to go to bed earlier each night for the perfect night routine.
