Best Bedtime Routine for Adults:

1. Get off your screen. Approximately one hour before you plan to go to bed get off your phone, turn off the TV, etc. Allowing your brain and eyes to rest from the blue light before bed can be beneficial to your health as you establish a soothing bedtime routine.
2. Prepare for the next day. To prepare for a productive next day will always start the night before. Something you can do is a quick tidy-up of your space. For example, load and start the dishwasher, prepare your lunch for the next day(if you are on the go), lay out your clothes, pack your bag, etc.
3. Hygine. Wash your face from any dirt, oil, or makeup. This is beneficial for your skin to be clean for long hours during sleep. While you are already at the sink brush and floss your teeth.
4. Change clothes. It’s time to get comfy into soft or silky pajamas. It’s the perfect way to relax as you create this aspect into your bedtime routine as an adult.
5. Read. Grab one of your favorite books and read to help calm your body before you fall asleep. Aim to read for about 15 minutes- 30 minutes or approximately 10 pages. This is a great way to accomplish any reading goals you have by simply spending the last few moments of your day in this way.
6. Phone placement. Place your phone across your room on the charger or in a different room. For example, you can place your phone on your dresser. Or like me, I have my phone in the master bathroom. This is for a few different reasons like to prevent looking at the screen through the night, prevent hearing the noise of notifications, blue light, and to avoid snoozing the alarm. Having your phone be across the room helps to get right out of bed in the morning to turn the alarm off and start the day.
7. Pray. Allow the last thoughts on your mind to give gratitude and thanksgiving to Jesus. If you have breathe in your lungs you have something to be grateful for. Don’t know what to pray? Start pray about thanking Jesus for the day you had. You can pray scripture. For God’s will to be done. Ending your day with prayer will give you sweet peace as the day comes to a close. Especially for people who would like to learn how to sleep better with anxiety. This is a great scripture to pray, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7.

Mastering a bedtime routine does not have to be stressful. You don’t have to be perfect at it each time. Pro tip: start with only one of these habits on the listed above. By starting with one you will be better to get in the habit of being consistent than trying to master all of the routine with all of them. Slowly add in a new task before bed and before you know it you have mastered your bedtime routine.
