10 Bedtime Habits for a Calm Mind and Quieter Nights

Wind down, switch off, sleep well.

Quick answer

A calm bedtime routine helps the nervous system shift from alert to rest. Useful habits include keeping regular sleep and wake times, starting a 30 to 60 minute wind-down routine, dimming lights, putting screens away an hour before bed, keeping the bedroom cool, dark and quiet, using gentle background sound such as a fan or soft white noise if silence feels too noticeable, practising slow breathing or a body scan, writing down worries or tomorrow's tasks, avoiding caffeine after midday and heavy meals late at night, and getting out of bed briefly if you can't sleep.

Key takeaways

Quiet moments at night are when a busy mind and sensitive ears are most noticeable. A good routine helps you switch off.
