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
-
1Set a wind-down time
Pick a consistent time, even 20 minutes before bed, to start powering down screens and activity.
-
2Take your evening support
Magnesium or a sleep strip, taken at the same time each night, becomes a reliable cue for your body.
-
3Do 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.”
