I do many things for relaxation in night.
1. Go to roof and watch the stars under the cool atmosphere.
2. Hear soothing music. Many times spiritual.
3. Deep breathing.
4. Eat something I like before I sleep.
5. Meditate for a while. Think all positive things happened to me in my life. All those times when I was just going to fuck it up and somebody helped me.
:)
For me drinking a cup of green tea and reading a chapter from a book really helps. i try not to do anything to stressing before bed.
Write everything you're worried about down on a list; getting everything on paper will not only make you feel better, but it allows you to set those worries aside and deal with them in the morning. | Have hot tea (non-caffeinated!). | Take a hot bath or shower. | Enjoy a calm activity such as watching a show, drawing, etc.
Just get home and leave your problems behind for a bit. Sometimes we need to clear up our mind. Otherwise we go crazy! So go watch your favorite movie, listen your favorite music... eat something different. Take care of yourself.
Personally, I relax at night by winding down my level of activity. I stop doing work for the day, I change into my pajamas, and do something to relax like reading a book or watch an episode on television. After I'm done with that, I get my mind in the frame of going to sleep by brushing my teeth and getting into bed.
what i do personally is I have meditation music playing in the background that iset to a loop to play all nightlong.
The best way to relax at night is to read a book or do some journaling. Also having a nice cup of tea is a good idea too, but make sure that it doesnt not contain caffeine. Or a glass of warm milk can be good for some people. Taking a nice warm bath with a bath bomb and candels can be a really good choice too!!! Oh and dont forget some lavandar essential oils:)
It depends from person to person. Personally, for me writing all my thoughts down helps a lot. It's like venting out all your thoughts, worries on paper. It's a good way to clear your head. Apart from this, music, reading...which also helps in sleeping well does work.Go for any thing that makes you happy and helps you to calm down. It's all about experimenting and seeing what works for you.
There are many ways to relax at night. The first thing that you have to do is unplug. (TV, Phones, etc). Find a nice book to read while taking a nice bubble bath. Light some candles and after you are done with the bath, try a wind down meditation or some bedtime yoga.
Also be mindful about what you are doing during the day. Eating healthy and being physically active will also help you relax at night. We are animals and need that release. Eating greasy foods and not exercising may cause discomfort, such as heartburn, which is never fun when you are laying down and trying to sleep.
Don't use your phone. Have a drink without caffine and read a nice book or take a nice and hot bath

Taking a hot bubble bath, listening to calming music, reading a book, creating art or even going for a walk if you live in the country

Opening some music while you're laying on your bed and dreaming of the good things that might happen in your life.
In my personal opinion, there are several things that make night times relaxing, especially if you're feeling anxious. The first one has to be a nice hot bubble bath combined with a good book! It just gives you privacy for half an hour to an hour, gets you involved with other characters, let's you be in another reality for a little while taking a load off your own for a while. I also enjoy watching tv or a movie, surfing the internet or playing games. If I'm feeling particularly anxious or lonely, calling or messaging a friend is a good way to either take your mind off things or gives you space to talk to someone you trust. All of these have helped me relax and knowing I've kept my mind busy helps me sleep a little easier too :)
That differs from person to person, but there are ways which are common for everyone. Rely on different herb treatments to ease your nerves, practice different breathing techniques. I have always found it quite helpful to listen to an audio book while falling asleep.

Drink some tea, chamomile, relaxes you, no electronics. Close your eyes and relax, and next thing you know you wake up to a fresh day!
best way to relax at night would be hearing music while taking a bath and relaxing there until your tired and got to bed feeling al nice and relaxed
Try to develop a routine of going to bed that will help you fall asleep. In the middle of the night teach your self mindful practices to help you relax.

Turn off electronics a good hour before the time you want to fall asleep. Try having some herbal tea or allowing yourself to relax with a book. Try to only use your bed for sleeping.
Best way to relax at night is having a bedtime ritual of getting ready for bed about 20 minutes. Drinking chamomile tea and reading a favorite book and having a lavender essential oil spray at hand to spray some on the pillows and listening to rain music and drifting off to sweet dreams.
The best way that I relax at night is having a defuser in my room with vanilla lavender essential oil. I also listen to music. Something that also helps me relax at night is reading and heat packs. When I feel warm I am able to relax better and I am more likely to fall asleep faster. I always have to make sure there are no other loud noises besides the music. If I decide not to listen to music I will put in earplugs that help me to stay asleep as my household can get very noisy.
In my opinion, the best way you can relax at night is by reading a storybook that you love so much, it makes you feel like you're in that world itself. And then you slowly drift off to sleep, dreaming of a better world, a world where you can be yourself.
That's what I do to feel relaxed!
Or, you can listen to some calm and soothing music, preferably instrumentals. While listening, try to forget all your worries and problems. Just focus on the music and shut your eyes. Sleep would come to you automatically... I've tried this, too!
Well, it can be different for everyone, but I've found that reading before bed can help a lot. You could also try listening to soothing music or things like that.

Having a warm drink like heated milk, hot chocolate or herbal tea can help to relax you. A cool body temperature can help you get to sleep, so making sure your room isn't overheated or showering (because then you warm up in the shower and cool down when you get out) might help. Making a list of things to do the next day can help you to plan out what you need to get done and then stop worrying about it in bed. Minimising screen time with your phone or laptop can also help you to get sleepy by reducing your exposure to bright light that might keep you awake - reading a book is a better way to chill out. Listening to soothing music or focusing on your breathing when you get into bed can also help you to relax and get to sleep.
What helps me the most is making a warm cup of tea, grabbing a good book, and cuddling with my cat a few hours before bed.
Sit back and relax do your favorite thing and don't think about anything!! Just be calm and be happy.
For me personally I have a cup a decaf tea, either green tea or a white tea and either pick up a classic book or my journal. I make sure I turned off all my electronics and have a quiet place to sit.
It really depends on what kind of thing you enjoy
Things like watching a favourite film or tv program can help,spending time with people you care about relaxation or meditation exercise craft work I hope you find something that helps I usually like to do one calm activity such as a bubble bath or listening to music
Hope this helps take care 😊

Turn the lights off. Try and listen to some relaxing music or your favorite songs. You could try and read a book or lay down.
