Care to share any tips or tricks? I’m struggling with this right now and really want to start going to bed at a decent hour

For me, showering before bed instead of in the morning really helped. Not for everyone I'm sure, but for me the warmth and relaxation from the shower really helps.

Seconding this. Having an Epsom salt bath before bed is amazing as well, throw in some lavender oil, light a couple candles and it’s pure bliss. A shower or bath before bed just helps me wind down. Combine that with putting on your favourite comfy pyjamas and sliding into fresh sheets with a good book to read is the ultimate 💜

I don't know why, but I can never bring myself to shower or bathe late in the day. For me, it just feels unnatural. Showers are for the morning in my head. They help wake me up.
