My night routine:
- Darken my room as much as possible
- Set my alarm
- Read (30 min)
- Brush my teeth
- Clean my room/Charge electronics/lay out my clothes
- Journal (short summary of the day; one idea; something i liked about today; something i learned; track habits/mood; something i could have done better; random creative stuff)

Lately I've been so obsessed with improving my morning routine. I think we view nightly routines as uninspiring, since we're basically just preparing for sleep. Obvious things like caffeine are a no no late at night, but I loved your idea of creating a "wind down alarm" as a reminder to finish up any tasks were currently doing and to not start any new ones. Well done!

*SUMMARY*

Step 1: Wind Down Alarm Clock 1 hour before (2:00)
Step 2: Tidy up bits n bobs... just prepare init (4:12)
Step 3: Review and reflect (5:20)
Step 4: Brush teeth etc. (5:48)
Step 5: Read/yoga... just relax (6:02)

Thanks for the video.
Good luck everyone.

Aww I hoped this video held some secret on how to sleep for just one hour a night!

[caoimhed]

• Figure out what time to go to bed.
• Set an alarm for the next morning (Where you ideally don't wake up in the middle of deep sleep).
• Set an alarm for 1 hour before you want to go to bed.
• Give yourself 10 more minutes after that alarm to let yourself get whatever work you were doing done.
• Don't be on a screen an hour before bed.
• Take 15 minutes to "reset your living space" e.g. do the dishes, pack your bag, pick out your clothes for the next day etc...
• Review how your day went (What habits you did etc...) for 15 minutes e.g. write in a diary etc..
• Take 5 minutes to brush your teeth etc...
• Take 15 minutes to stretch, do yoga, read a fiction book etc...

Hope this helps anyone who sees it and have a great day :)

Okay, why aren't we talking about "So maybe that one doesn't apply right now but hey, one can dream, right? "
And I'm also fascinated by the fact that you always know what we need. Thank you so much for the great topic :)

I noticed the change and progress in your videos, the development is amazing, the introduction and the clips you show throughout are also pretty nice. Keep up the good work!

[bandanak]

tom, i've been watching your videos for years now and besides the admirable crazy amount of research you pour into making those - what makes them amazing is that they're so fun to watch
that intro to the video got me totally hooked. it feels like i'm watching a movie.
we already know what the video's going to be about because it has a title and yet, your intro was so interesting and got us hoping for more.
it's amazing how your uploaded videos never been bad but they keep getting better.

Thanks so much Thomas! I’ve recently been working on my morning and night routines and I’ve been wondering what I could do at night besides “no screens” and writing in my planner. I really like the idea of resetting my workspace because right now my studio and bed share a room so waking up and seeing everything organized should definitely help me avoid distractions the next day!

[hadie]

Just discovered your channel a week ago I’m sooo happy you helped me organize my back to school routine
