Establishing a winddown period before bed from "summary" of Sleep Soundly Every Night, Feel Fantastic Every Day by Robert Steven Rosenberg
To ensure a restful night's sleep, it is essential to establish a winddown period before bed. This period allows your mind and body to relax and prepare for sleep. It is a time to unwind and let go of the stresses and worries of the day. By taking the time to wind down before bed, you can signal to your body that it is time to sleep and help promote a healthy sleep routine. During the winddown period, it is important to engage in relaxing activities that promote relaxation and calmness. This could include reading a book, taking a warm bath, practicing deep breathing exercises, or listening to soothing music. By engaging in these activities, you can help quiet your mind and reduce any anxiety or tension that may be keeping you awake. It is also important to avoid stimulating activities during the winddown period. This includes activities such as watching TV, using electronic devices, or engaging in intense exercise. These activities can interfere with your body's natural sleep-wake cycle and make it harder for you to fall asleep. Creating a consistent winddown routine can also help signal to your body that it is time to sleep. By going to bed at the same time each night and engaging in the same relaxing activities before bed, you can help train your body to associate these actions with sleep. This can help improve the quality of your sleep and make it easier for you to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.- Establishing a winddown period before bed is essential for promoting a healthy sleep routine. By taking the time to relax and unwind before bed, you can help prepare your mind and body for sleep and improve the quality of your rest. So, make sure to prioritize your winddown period and create a relaxing bedtime routine that works for you.
