Sleep & Nervines: A Gentle Evening Wind-Down

Good sleep rarely starts at midnight. It starts with the hour before - the lights you dim, the screen you set down, and the small signals that tell your body the day is ending.

A simple evening ritual

One traditional favourite is a warm cup of chamomile with lemon balm about an hour before bed. Both herbs have a long history of traditional use as gentle evening teas. Sip slowly, somewhere comfortable that is not your desk.

Make it a ritual, not a remedy

Pair the tea with the same two or three steps each night: a short stretch, tomorrow's top task written down, phone charging outside the bedroom. Rituals work because they repeat.

Education only: if you are pregnant, taking medication, or living with a health condition, check with your healthcare professional before using any herb regularly.
