Protect a wind-down window
Give yourself a short period before bed without demanding tasks. Dimmer light and quieter activity can help the body settle. The exact routine matters less than repeating something calm.
Keep nights consistent when you can
A regular sleep and wake time can support steadier energy. Life will interrupt that rhythm — return to it when you can, rather than aiming for perfection.
Watch late stimulants carefully
Caffeine, heavy meals, and bright screens late in the evening can make rest harder for some people. Notice your own pattern and adjust gradually.
Talk to a clinician if sleep stays difficult
Ongoing sleep problems deserve a proper conversation. Bring notes about timing, duration, and what you have already tried. This journal is for everyday organisation, not diagnosis.
A little preparation can make more room for the conversation.
Start with what matters to you.
