In a fast-paced life, a person gets stressed about some things going on in his personal and professional life, which is very natural. The hustle and bustle of the day, work, conflicts in relationships, financial problems and many other things cause this. If stress is not managed in time, it can have a negative impact on mental and physical health. The easiest way is to try to reduce any thoughts or stress going on in your mind throughout the day before sleeping at night.
At night, most people get a chance to rest peacefully after their whole day’s work. In such situations, people watch TV or scroll through social media. Which is not correct. You can adopt some such habits before sleeping at night. Which can help you manage stress.
digital detox before bed
Most of the people use mobile after reaching home from office. But the blue light emitted from it can interfere with sleep. In such a situation, try to stop using all mobiles, laptops and TV at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleeping. Instead of this, you can read a book or sit with your loved ones and have a light conversation. Apart from this, turn off the lights some time before sleeping.
Deep breathing or meditation
You can adopt meditation deep breathing technique some time before sleeping. This can help in managing stress. You sit on the bed in a quiet environment and concentrate on your breathing. This relaxes both the body and mind and also helps in falling asleep quickly. It is more beneficial for those people who overthink about the day’s matters at night.

During this period, maintain distance from mobile and eat mindfully.

Journaling
The best way to relax your mind is to write about your day’s activities and fillings in a diary, especially if something is troubling you, then write it in the diary or on some paper. This makes the mind lighter. Apart from this, if you think very negatively, then you can write gratitude and positivity.
