A Before-Bed Checklist That Actually Works

The hour before bed matters more than the hour in bed. What you do in those sixty minutes sets the tone for everything that follows.

Dim the lights. Put the phone down at a distance. Draw the curtains. Light one candle and let the room settle into a slower temperature.

Then read a few pages, or simply sit. No goals, no scroll. Let the last light of the day be a flame, not a screen.
