Most wind-down routines fail for the same reason: they're too complicated to keep up. Here's a simple version that's easy to actually stick with.

Why Simple Beats Elaborate

A ten-step nighttime ritual sounds nice, but most people abandon it within a week. A short, repeatable routine you'll actually do every night works better than an elaborate one you'll skip on tired days.

A Routine That Actually Sticks

  • 1
    Set a wind-down time

    Pick a consistent time, even 20 minutes before bed, to start powering down screens and activity.

  • 2
    Take your evening support

    Magnesium or a sleep strip, taken at the same time each night, becomes a reliable cue for your body.

  • 3
    Do one calming thing

    Reading, stretching, or a few minutes of quiet are enough. It doesn't need to be elaborate to work.

“A routine you'll actually repeat beats a perfect one you'll quit.”
