01 / A closer look

Start with what is already working.

Maybe you already read a few pages, shower, or prepare tomorrow’s clothes. Use that familiar action as an anchor before adding anything new.

02 / A closer look

Leave yourself fewer decisions.

Set out the book, move the charger, or place a notebook where you can reach it. A routine is easier to try when the useful things are ready.

03 / A closer look

Give the routine a small version.

Some nights will be busy. Decide what a two-minute version looks like: clear the bedside table, write down tomorrow’s first task, and settle in. Consistency need not mean doing everything.

04 / A closer look

Notice, rather than grade.

Keep a short note about what felt comfortable and what felt like a chore. If sleep difficulties persist, seek professional advice rather than repeatedly making the routine stricter.
