Hey everyone, it's Logan Crews. Here your friendly neighborhood guide

fulfilling life. And let's be honest, a good night's sleep
is pretty darn essential for that. Right when you're well rested,

are bet to unlock the secrets to creating a bedtime
routine that transforms your evenings from chaotic sprints into blissful retreats.
Here are five key takeaways that'll change your sleep game forever. One.
Ditch the screen time. Look I get it, scrolling through
social media or binge watching Netflix can be super tempting,

(01:05):
But here's the deal. The blue eye emitted from those
screens messes with your melotonin production, the hormone that tells
your body it's time to hit the hay. Try switching
off at least anhile before bed, read a book, listen
to some common music, or even just have a good
old fashioned conversation with someone you love. To create a
wind down ritual, think of this as your personal pre

(01:28):
slept spar experience warm bath, check soothing, aromatherapy, double check,
a cup of her boltea like canamle or lavender. You bit.
These rituals signal to your body that it's time to
relax and unwind. It could be anything from a fist
mask to journaling your thoughts, whatever helps you distress and
clear your mind. Very consistency is key. Just like any

(01:53):

Aim for going to bed and waking up around the
same time each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate
your buddy's natural sleep where you cycle. Think of it
as training your inten o'clock far optimize your sleep environment.
Let's face it, A clotted bedroom doesn't exactly scream relaxation.

(02:15):
Make sure your room is dark, cold, and quiet. Invest
in blackout curtains if needed, keep the thermostat comfortable, and
use your plugs or white noise to block out any
distracting sounds I've kept moving during the day. Exercise isn't
just about getting ripped. It's also a fantastic way to
improve sleep quality. Aim for at least thirty minutes of

(02:36):
moderate intensity exercise most days of the week. Just avoid
working out too close to bedtime, as this can actually
make it hard to fall asleep. Now, let me paint
your picture. You're wrapping up your work day, feeling that
familiar wave of stress building up. But instead of diving
headfirst into your phono computer, you take a deep breath
and remember your bedtime routine. You slip out of your

(02:58):
work clothes and into something company, maybe even light to
scent of candle to set the mood. You draw a
warm bath, add some soothing ups of salts, and let
the worries of the day melt away. You step out
feeling refresh, grab a cup of heavil tea, and settle
into bed with a good book. Sun's pretty darn good, right.
This is what a bedtime routine can do for us,
about creating a space where you can truly unwind and recharge.

(03:22):
It's not just about getting more sleep, it's about improving
the quality of your sleep so that ye wake up
feeling energized, focused, and ready to tackle the day. So,
