Schedule technology-free time.

Many of us are guilty of scrolling through social media or watching a show before we go to sleep. But studies have shown that the blue light emitted from your screen negatively affects your circadian rhythm. Some devices allow you to control the level of blue light in your screen or even schedule when to adjust the blue light emitted from the screen, which is a great alternative.

Separate work from bed.

For any of us working from home, this can be a tough one. As we continue to adjust to the COVID-19 pandemic, work-life balance has taken a serious hit. Regardless of whether you go into the office or your office is down the hall from your bedroom, it’s important to log off when the workday is over. Try to avoid answering emails after dinner – some email services even have a “Do Not Disturb” function that you can customize so you won’t be notified during certain hours of the day. If that’s not an option, try physically closing your laptop to signal that you’re done for the day.

Read a book.

An actual paper book works best (remember that pesky blue light from screens), but any kind of reading will help you relax. One study showed that just six minutes of undisturbed reading can reduce stress by 68%, and it’ll give you the opportunity to think about something other than your worries.

Listen to music.

No matter what you choose to do to wind down, listening to soothing or calm music in the background can help you feel relaxed, even if you just have it playing in the background. Classical music has been proven to lower blood pressure but if that isn’t your vibe, your favorite music should do the trick too.

Try stretching or light yoga.

Stretching exercises help relax your muscles by relieving some tension after a long day. A comprehensive review found meditative activities like yoga are wildly beneficial for sleep quality and also improve quality of life and depression.
