Make your own bedtime ritual: dim the lights, put your phone away, and sip a non‑caffeinated tea 1–2 hours before bed.
Keep your room cool and dark, and try a consistent lights‑out time—even on weekends. If traveling, pack your
wind‑down essentials (earplugs, eye mask, and this tincture) to help your sleep stay on course.
