Nighttime

A nighttime routine is a set of activities that you do each day to end the day on a positive note and prepare for a good night's sleep. This can include things like brushing teeth, getting into bed, and reading a book. A nighttime routine can help you relax and unwind after a busy day, and can help you get a better night's sleep.
