Resetting Your Evenings
WHEN:
Evenings that feel chaotic, overstimulating, or blurred into your workday. That’s your reset window.
ACTION:
Choose one small structure that helps you transition into rest. It shouldn’t require willpower, just a simple shift in pace.
Try:
➢ Switching off your work notifications by a set time.
➢ Giving your brain something off-screen to focus on (podcast, book, puzzle, playlist, family time).
➢ Moving your phone charger out of arm’s reach before bed.
➢ Starting a “lights dim” rule after a certain time.
➢Using a basic wind-down stack: warm non-caffeinated beverage, stretch, 3-min brain dump
Simple 4-Step Guide to Restful Sleep can help you layer in one or two of these if you want a short, repeatable flow.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Sleep issues aren’t always about sleep itself. Often, they stem from overstimulation, delayed shutdown, or mental clutter. Creating a consistent off-ramp, no matter how small, tells your brain it’s safe to power down.
Light Structure for This Week:
Choose one thing that helps you transition into rest. Repeat it for a few nights. Your system will start to follow.
