I think for every person the 'best way' is different. Personally I like a bath with lavender oil and listening to relaxing music through my iPod headphones. I know other people do mindfulness or meditation or yoga in the evening. Resources about 'sleep hygiene' contain many suggestions of what you could try. Its a case of trial and error until you find the one, or combination that works best for you. In general we relax when we are able to 'slow' our minds and quieten some of the toughest and feelings.

The best way to relax at night is to do something you enjoy! While what I enjoy is probably different than what others enjoy, thats okay! As well as it is okay for you to enjoy something else. Doing something you love is often one of the best stress relievers out there :)

hang out. Listen to your fave music. Be on tumblr. Sing out loud. Do yoga. But this one is the better: turn music on, and go to bed, sing till you fall asleep

Make the room dark, lay down with a fan blowing on you, and play some nice chill music :) If you're running into issues with it being too hot, you can also take a damp wash cloth and put it on your forehead or wherever you need

I like to just lie in bed, and focus on deep,rhythmic breathing and close my eyes and empty my mind, focus on nothing and just drift. But I also find laying off caffeine and sugar, lavender scents, clean bed linen and relaxing music also really help!

After a stressful day I like to come home, turn on my games console, load up my laptop, play some video games and watch some YouTube videos :)I do this because it's my favorite way to relax and unwind from a stressful day. I chose this way because it lets me escape from the stress of every day life. Playing games like Minecraft and GTA. Letting my mind shift into the mind of someone else in a different universe and let all my worries float away. Another thing I like to do is play guitar. I can sit and play all the great tunes I know how to. Using my mind for something other than maths and stuff like that :)

There's a lot of ways actually. For me, I can sleep better when not hungry. They also say herbal tea is good. One other thing I do while trying to fall asleep is listen to some music specialized for that. Did you mean relax for bed or just at night?
