One habit that genuinely transformed my sleep routine is reading before bed.
Not scrolling, not watching a tv show but actually reading. It forces your mind to slow down, pulls you out of the noise and signals to your body that it’s time to switch off. I used to lie awake for hours with thoughts racing, but building a simple nightly reading ritual completely changed that.
Ten to twenty minutes is all it takes. The consistency matters more than the duration. If you struggle with sleep, start here. It’s the easiest habit to implement and one of the most effective you’ll ever adopt.
