Falling asleep isn’t just about closing your eyes — it’s about telling your body and mind: you’re safe now, you can let go.

A soothing night ritual is like a bridge between your busy day and the rest you deserve. The good news? You don’t need 20 steps or 12 products. You just need consistency and softness.

Here’s a sample wind-down ritual we love at Innerglow:

• 📵 Tech Off Time – 1 hour before bed, all screens go off. Your nervous system thanks you.

• 🛁 Warm Bath or Shower – Water relaxes your muscles and mimics the drop in core body temperature that helps you fall asleep.

• 🕯️ Sensory Calm – Light a calming candle, use a magnesium balm, or apply lavender mist to your pillow.

• ✍️ Brain Dump – Write anything that’s circling in your mind. It doesn’t need to be poetic — just honest.

• 🎧 Wind-Down Audio – Soft instrumental music, or a voice-guided body scan. Let it carry you into the quiet.

Remember: your routine isn’t a checklist — it’s a rhythm. Find what soothes you, and stay close to it.
