Settling down before bed is a key part of supporting your mental health and emotional well-being. 🌙
When you take time to slow down & reset before hitting the hay, you're signaling to your body & brain that it's safe to let go of the day.
Here's why this matters: when your mind is racing or your nervous system is still activated, falling (and staying) asleep becomes much harder. And poor sleep? It affects everything — your mood, focus, energy, patience, and overall resilience.
Incorporating small calming practices before bed can:
👉 Help you fall asleep faster
👉 Strengthen emotional regulation
👉 Improve sleep quality & duration
👉 Reduce nighttime anxiety & overthinking
👉 Support your body’s natural recovery & reset process
Even just one or two intentional practices can create powerful change for the long term!
