As soon as evening falls, I begin to prepare for my ritual. The first thing I do is turn off all the lights and light a candle. I prefer natural lavender or rosemary scented candles as these scents are very comforting to me.

Then I take a hot shower, which helps me relax and clear my mind. When I shower, I use a natural eucalyptus or mint scented shower gel, as these scents are also very soothing.

After showering, I put on a soft robe and sit on the yoga mat. I spend a few minutes meditating, focusing on my breathing and feelings of calmness and well-being. Then I start doing stretching and yoga to improve circulation and help my body relax.

When I finish my yoga classes, I turn on meditation music and go to bed. I find that music helps me relax and calm down before bed.

However, the most important thing in my ritual is my gratitude. I spend a few minutes thinking about all the things I'm grateful for in my life. I am grateful for my loved ones, my work, my health, and everything else in my life. I think it's very important to stay positive and keep your energy up.

All these little details make up my unusual bedtime ritual that helps me relax and fall asleep.
