Frequently asked questions

3. Light Candles

Light Candles Candles are a great way to set the mood in your bedroom, so that your body can gradually adjust to more darkness and hence feel ready for sleep. Just remember to be safe and blow those candles out before you finally nod off!

4. Play Soothing Music

Play Soothing Music Soothing music can also help set the mood, so it might help to create a 'bed-time' playlist with all your favourite gentle, soothing songs to help you relax and unwind, eventually sending you off to sleep.

5. Watch an Easy Movie

Watch an Easy Movie Similar to reading an easy book before bed, you may like to choose a light and easy movie to watch as well. Again, comedies are a great choice as you won't have to think too much about the storyline and can focus more of enjoying the movie!

6. Turn off Electronics

Turn off Electronics You should turn off electronics you tend to use at least 30 minutes to an hour before sleep. Of course you can still use your laptop to watch an easy movie or your phone to listen to soothing music, but make sure you dim the lighting first so your eyes can adjust to a darker screen (or use 'night-mode')and remember to switch it off completely once you're ready to sleep.

7. Reflect in Bed

Reflect in Bed Night-time is a great time to take some time to yourself to simply self-reflect. A few ideas may be to reflect on your life, the day you just had, you as a person and anything else you can think of. This can be very self-soothing and a helpful habit for you to adapt if you have trouble getting to sleep.

8. Lounge in Comfy Clothes

Lounge in Comfy Clothes Your body knows it's not bed-time if you're wearing tight clothes that you can hardly breathe or move in, so take the time before bed to get into your comfy pyjamas or even a loose pair of track-pants and a singlet. It's important to feel comfortable to relaxed so your body knows it's time to unwind!

Watch ASMR, it helps every single time 👌

I can't read a book before going to sleep because I'll probably end up reading it all 😂
