What are some ways I can unwind before going to bed?
Listen to relaxing music. Try a few gentle stretches. Read uncomplicated material. Warm beverages like tea and soup broth also help. Avoid the news, intense discussion or thinking about the problems of the day. If you happen to have a lot on your mind, you might want to write a quick “to do” list for the next day. Sometimes writing a list allows your mind to release those thoughts and allow you to concentrate on sleeping.
