Five small rituals. Each takes less than five minutes. Together, they transform the hour before sleep.
Ritual 1: The Room Reset
Make your bed. Dim the lights. Light a candle — amber noir, warm and grounding. A made bed with a candle burning signals: the day is over. You are home.
Ritual 2: The Fabric Shift
Change out of your day clothes. Put on something intentional. Silk. Modal. Velvet. The act of changing into something you chose is the single most effective sleep cue.
Ritual 3: The Warm Drink
Chamomile tea. Warm milk with honey. Nothing caffeinated. Nothing alcoholic. Hold the mug in both hands. Breathe.
Ritual 4: The Screen Boundary
Phone face down. Out of reach. Pick up a book. The weight of paper is its own kind of signal.
Ritual 5: The Final Breath
