Daily Habits

Create simple morning and evening routines that are easy to return to when life gets busy.

Give your day a familiar rhythm

Similar sleep and waking times can help make a routine more consistent. NHS insomnia guidance recommends a regular wake-up time and going to bed when sleepy. Choose one practical cue for your evening, such as putting work away or setting out a book. Keep it simple enough to repeat during an ordinary week, not only on your quietest days.

Build a routine you can return to

Start with Your Evening Routine Guide to plan a manageable wind-down. Wake Up Refreshed explores the other end of the night. Consider what needs to happen before bed and what can wait until tomorrow. When travel, family needs or an unexpected task changes the plan, use the same small starting point again. A missed evening does not require a more complicated routine.
