      Keeping it simple can help. Try picking two or three easy habits and sticking with them each night. About 30 minutes before bed, dim the lights and put screens away. You might read a few pages of a book or do some gentle stretches to help your body relax. A warm bath or a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea can signal it’s time to wind down. Finish with a brief breathing exercise—inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four—and then head to bed. Which of these feels most doable for you tonight?
