Incorporate mindfulness practices into your evening routine from "summary" of Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson

One powerful way to enhance your evening routine and improve your sleep quality is by integrating mindfulness practices. Mindfulness involves being fully present and aware in the moment, which can help calm your mind and reduce stress and anxiety that may be keeping you up at night. By taking the time to focus on the present moment, you can quiet the mental chatter that often disrupts our ability to relax and fall asleep. There are many different mindfulness practices you can incorporate into your evening routine. One simple practice is deep breathing exercises, which can help to relax your body and mind before bed. You can also try progressive muscle relaxation, where you systematically tense and then release each muscle group in your body to release tension and promote relaxation. Another effective mindfulness practice is meditation. Spending just a few minutes meditating before bed can help to clear your mind and create a sense of calm that can carry over into your sleep. You can also try visualization techniques, where you imagine yourself in a peaceful and relaxing environment to help quiet your mind and prepare for sleep. In addition to these practices, you can also try journaling as a way to reflect on your day and let go of any stress or worries that may be weighing on your mind. By taking the time to write down your thoughts and feelings, you can gain perspective and create a sense of closure that can help you relax and unwind before bed.
