Preparation for a good night’s sleep can begin hours before your bedtime, so to set yourself up for a night of relaxation, take your bath early evening - and make sure that the setup is right!

Low lighting, bubbles or a bath bomb and a good book to read can all make the experience as enjoyable as possible. If you don’t already have one, think about getting a bath tray to rest a drink and a book on, and don’t forget to light some candles for that perfect relaxing atmosphere.

Use a speaker for soothing sounds

causing us to feel wide awake—which is the last thing you want before bedtime! Instead, create a playlist of gentle and soothing sounds and connect it to your speaker
to create a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Pop a candle or diffuser nearby and relax in the soothing sounds and delicious scents.

Plump up your pillows

You can also use a sleep mask to stop any light from waking you up too early in the morning.

Darken your room with blackout blinds and curtains

If you’re a light sleeper, then you’re probably used to being woken up by the smallest noise. But light from outside can also have an impact on your body’s sleep cycle,
causing you to wake up earlier than you need to—particularly during the summer months when the sun rises earlier in the day.
To counteract this, invest in some blackout blinds and curtains which will help to keep your room dark and peaceful, no matter the time of day.

Chill out with low lighting

Since bright lights can disrupt our sleep/wake cycle, avoid using your main lights for an hour or two before bedtime, and instead chill out with low lighting from a bedside lamp. Not only do bedside lamps produce less light, but they’re also easy to switch off from the comfort of your own bed.
