I usually try to do some meditation and listen to music to wind down.
I don't really have a good routine but I'm working on it. The medication I'm on for depression seems to be helping me sleep better. I am a night owl and it seems like my brain really wakes up in the evening. I always wish I had more time to do things when I can think clearly so it's hard to stop and get ready for bed. I was staying up till around 1am or sometimes later when I'm trying to finish a good book. Now I've finally gotten to where I'm going to bed around midnight and waking up around 7ish to 8 am. I've been taking the Natrol Melatonin to help me get to sleep but I tend to wake up around 4, 5, 5something, 6.... etc. I planning on doing yin yoga for 30 min before bedtime. I think that will help me sleep better because it's so relaxing.
