1. Night skincare
Good skincare after shower or before bed is a great way to let your skin breathe and heal during the night. Establishing a good night routine is as good as your day routine. There are plenty of specific night products that you can try out what works for your skin and what you are aiming for. My usual night skincare involved a good wash of my face, toner, serum, night moisturizer, eye cream and occasionally spot treatment creams. Shop my favourite night products here:
2. PJ's
Always change your daywear or homewear to PJ's before going to sleep. Not only, you don't want to go to bed with clothes you have been wearing whole day, but also it is a good habit to feel fresh. Especially now during quarantine time and working from home, to keep us productive and effective during the day, changing clothes whilst staying home set us ahead for the day.

3. Hydration
Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day as well as prior going to bed. It is recommended to drink 2 liter per day, so always try to hydrate yourself. Try not to consume caffeine during the evening times as it can affect your sleep. I am using Equa smart water bottle with an app that tracks how much water I drink during the day.
4. Download sleep apps
There are apps practically for everything, including to help you sleep better! Whether you want to calm your mind before bedtime (check Headspace app), listen to some sounds (check Noisli app), listen to some bedtime stories (check Sleepiest app), track your sleeping pattern and cycle (check Sleep Cycle app) or keeping jour journal for your thoughts before bed (check Reflectly app). Whatever the activity can be, it may help you to calm and clear your mind to have a better deep sleep.
5. Read a book
Did you know that apparently just 6 minutes of reading reduces stress by 68%? I always keep one book next to my bedside table and read a chapter or a few pages before going to be. This helps me to do some reading during the busy day as well as to concentrate my thoughts elsewhere.
6. Optimize your bedroom environment
Whether it is the right temperature for you or the bedroom set you are in. Comfortable bedsheets, good pillows, not too thick or not too thin duvet and so on. Having good bedding is important for your health, comfort and of course to make the look and feel of bedroom good. Think about that you are spending a big chunk of the day in the bed, so pay attention to your spine, neck and other body aches from bad sleeping. Shop my favourite bedroom interior here:
