How to Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine
Why Does a Bedtime Routine Matter?
At Unbeaten Fitness, we don’t just help you sweat it out in the gym. We care about your overall wellbeing, and that includes your sleep! A regular, relaxing bedtime routine is key to waking up refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for your workout.
Step by Step Guide to a Relaxing Bedtime Routine
Step 1: Declutter and Clean
Make your bedroom a serene sanctuary away from the stresses of the day. Keep it clean, tidy, and decluttered. Less mess means more relaxation!
Step 2: Wind Down
Turn off your screens at least an hour before bed to give your mind a chance to wind down and prepare for sleep. Remember to dim the lights too!
Step 3: Comfort is King
Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows, and cozy, soft bedding that feels good against your skin. Good sleep is worth it!
Step 4: A Little Bit of Lavender
Lavender essential oils are known for their calming properties. Diffusing some lavender oil in your bedroom can create a serene environment that welcomes sleep.
Step 5: Bedtime Yoga
Gentle, relaxing yoga just before bed can help ease your body and mind into sleep mode. Incorporate poses like child’s pose, legs up the wall, and savasana into your routine.
Final Thoughts
A quality sleep routine isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity, especially when you’re dedicated to keeping your body fit and healthy. Following these steps and building the best bedtime routine for yourself will do wonders for your workouts.
