Day 5: Time to Perfect that Nighttime Routine

[Greeting]

Moving on to the next part of your lifestyle changes – your nighttime routine! Let’s spend 
day 5 going over your nighttime routine and making some important tweaks to ensure a 
good night’s sleep and plenty of energy each and every day.


Why do You Need a Nighttime Routine?

The nighttime routine might seem silly or unnecessary, but trust us – it works! While 
your morning routine helps set you up for the day and get you into a healthy mindset, 
the nighttime routine is about bringing you back down. It helps to relax you, destress, 
and help you get good sleep. 

Without a good nighttime routine, you probably spend all night watching Netflix or sitting 
on your phone, which is going to put you into a tense, stressed state when you’re trying 
to go to sleep. This isn’t very restful, and you will likely oversleep the next morning, then 
not have a good routine in the morning.

See how that works?


What to Include in Your Nighttime Routine

When thinking about what to include in your nighttime routine, think about what will help 
relax you and help you get ready for bed. It can include exercise, but it should be 
soothing, like a stretching or light yoga routine. 

Maybe you have a cup of chamomile tea while you write in your journal, or you turn the 
lights down low in your bedroom to meditate. Just try to include activities that don’t 
make you more alert like watching TV, and instead help bring calm and relaxation.


Tip – Set up your nightstand with your journal, book, essential oils, and anything else 
that is part of your nighttime routine. This helps to keep up with your routine each and 
every night.
