Digital “Sunset” Ritual

Written By Cynthia Skyers-Gordon

Wind down your mind by powering down earlier.

Why it matters:
Blue light from screens disrupts sleep and keeps the brain alert. Creating a nightly “sunset” for your devices signals to your body that it’s time to rest.

How to Create Your Digital Sunset:

  • Set a Reminder – Alarm or phone notification 10–15 minutes before bedtime.

  • Turn Off Screens – Power down phones, tablets, and TVs.

  • Choose a Calming Activity – Journal, stretch, or read an uplifting quote.

  • Dim the Lights – Create a softer, bedtime-friendly environment.

Tip: Pair your screen-off time with a warm drink or breathing exercise for extra calm.

🌟Because your well-being matters, this guide includes 12 powerful tips PLUS 3 bonus tools you won’t find anywhere else, perfect for boosting calm, connection, and focus at work or home.
