Yes, a consistent pre-sleep routine is vital for signaling to your body that it's time to relax.

Recognizing your stress triggers and proactively managing them is key. For me, it's overcommitting to things.

I started about a year ago, and it's been consistently helpful. It's like clearing out my mental inbox before I try to sleep.

These are all fantastic, holistic approaches. @HealthExplorer, how long have you been journaling, and has it consistently helped?

I use **aromatherapy**, particularly lavender, in my bedroom. The scent is very calming and helps signal to my body that it's time to relax. Also, deep breathing exercises when I feel stressed during the day.

Setting **boundaries for work and personal life** is crucial. I try not to bring work worries home, and I have a strict "no work emails after 7 PM" rule. It helps create mental separation.
