Evening Routine For Stress

A day full of challenges, meetings, and stimuli doesn't magically end at 10:00 PM when you go to bed. Your brain needs time for "decompression" – to switch from work mode (sympathetic nervous system) to rest mode (parasympathetic nervous system). An evening routine is your personal ritual that signals to your body and mind: "It's time to wind down."

"Buffer Zone" Before Sleep (2-3 Hours)

This is not the time to catch up on TV series, scroll social media, or discuss difficult topics. This is a time for slowly winding down.

  • Avoid screens (blue light): Inhibits melatonin, raises cortisol.
  • Avoid heavy conversations and work: They activate the brain.
  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Although alcohol seems to relax, it fragments sleep. Caffeine is an obvious stimulant.
