What is the best sleep routine?

For an effective sleep routine, the Mind Pump Podcast recommends the following steps to prepare for sleep, ideally followed one to two hours before bedtime:

1. Dim the Lights: This helps signal to your brain that it's time to wind down.
2. Turn Off Electronics: Avoid screens or use blue light blocking glasses to reduce blue light exposure, which can interfere with sleep.
3. Avoid Stressful Activities: Don't engage in activities that could raise your stress levels before bed.
4. Drink Chamomile Tea: This can help calm you down and prepare your body for sleep.
5. Establish a Regular Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to regulate your body's internal clock.

Implementing these steps as part of your daily routine can significantly improve the quality of your sleep, aiding in better overall health and energy levels 1 2 3.
