If you want to fall asleep fast and enjoy a full night’s sleep, what you do before going to bed is far more important than what you do once you’re in bed. In fact, most people would benefit from a consistent bedtime routine that begins around 30 to 60 minutes before your head hits the pillow. 

Bedtime routines for adults are a vital part of sleep hygiene, as they set the scene for sleeping and cue your brain that it's time to wind down. Stick to your routine for 30 days straight and you'll notice that you are falling asleep faster and easier.
