A Simple Wind-Down Routine That Actually Sticks
A beginner-friendly wind-down routine you can repeat nightly without willpower.
Published
A good wind-down is short, repeatable, and boring (in a good way).
The 20-minute template
- Tidy one small area (2 min)
- Warm drink (tea or water) (5 min)
- Lights low + no scrolling (10 min)
- One calming cue (stretch, breath, or reading) (3 min)
Keep it consistent
Pick the same order each night. Consistency is the signal.
