My before-sleep ritual is to treat myself like a baby.
What does that mean? I took cues from my friends with kids and the wind-down routine they have for their toddlers. Those bedtime rituals, which provided consistency and marked the end of awake time and the beginning of sleep, were important for instilling a sense of security and regularity for their kids, and usually involved reading a book aloud or cuddling with a stuffed animal.
Usually I start with a bath, or a shower. Then I put on extremely soft, snuggly pajamas and sleep socks. I put my hair in a silk scrunchie so it doesn’t fall in my face when I toss and turn. Then I wrap myself in a. I arrange the pillows so there’s one that’s slightly softer and one that’s slightly firmer. I go underneath the covers and my weighted blanket, which is basically an adult swaddle, and read a book under the covers until I feel sleepy enough to try to sleep—usually about an hour.
Sleep routines are so personalized, and so particular. Do you need to have one foot sticking out of the covers to sleep? Should the room be a little cold or a little warm? Do you keep the window open, no matter what? Do you believe in a warm glass of milk, or a pre-bedtime snack? What works for you? We want to hear about it in the comments.
