What I do is the following: an hour before going to bed, don’t use any electronic device, (this means staring at a screen) if you do this, your brain will automaticly become more calm and relaxed, staring at a screen makes your brain do all kind of stuff and keeps it active…
In this hour, read a book, or what I tend to do is listening to meditation music / hypnotic music (for example binaural beats, I do like binaural beats, but they should include someone who’s giving instructions for your brain to follow, otherwise I find binaural beats very boring… Binaural Beats basicly are two different tones played in different ears, your brain can’t listen to both tones at the same time, so your brain creates a third sound, it’s wobbling and really good for mind synchronisation, making your mind a whole instead of two seperate parts)
Also, tea can be very good (or hot chocolate) before going to bed, (I find it to be very relaxing, lol)
Of course you can also do something different in that hour… Got something you wanted to do for a very long time but didn’t have the time to do it? Then do it in that hour!
You seriously wont regret it…
Peace
