There might be a TikTok routine for everything right now, but make sure you’re not neglecting the most important: a bedtime ritual.
Create a good sleep routine by following a regular pattern
Penny Weston, the director of award-winning Moddershall Oaks Country Spa Retreat and founder of MADE, a 360-degree wellness centre“Start with a warm bath and set the same time for bedtime each evening so your body knows it’s time to get ready for. You can also try some meditation. It’s important not to become discouraged when your mind starts to wander. With time and effort, your focus will become stronger.
“It may seem obvious, but unfortunately so many of us choose clock watching over listening to our body telling us how we feel,” says, who is working with OTO. “If you still feel alert or stressed, continue your routine and focus on relaxing, but avoid trying to actively force sleep. This is counterproductive and will increase production of stress hormones such as cortisol that keep us awake.”
