What do you usually do before going to sleep? We can really value the minutes that mark the end of our days before getting under the covers. It would be a shame to miss the opportunity to make peace with the people who are close to us or to dedicate a moment of tranquility and relaxation only to ourselves.
We can even plan to do something different every night before bed, or follow our instincts and choose what we prefer at that time.
Here are some ideas for you, accompanied by the beautiful ones illustrations of the Swedish artist House Lindberg, inspired by fairy tales, dreams and childhood memories.

Make peace
If you can, before going to sleep try to make peace with the people you have quarreled with. You will sleep much more peacefully. If the issue is thorny to address, postpone all discussions until the next day, rest and when you wake up it is likely that you already feel much better and that the solution to the problem appears in the form of intuition. You know, the night brings advice.
Say I love you
Don't forget to say before going to sleep "I love you" to the people who are close to you and to yourself. Learn to welcome yourself as you are in this moment and to welcome others. The "I love you" said with the heart do not lose value even if we pronounce them every day and are really beneficial both for us and for the people we live with.
Turn off the mobile phone
Let's not forget to defend ourselves from electrosmog at least when we go to sleep.

Listening to a friend's confidences
We can choose to dedicate a few moments of our day, perhaps after dinner or just before going to sleep, tolistening to the confidences of a friend. We can also think of sending a goodnight message to friends we haven't heard for a while so as to reconnect with the conversation and to be able to schedule a phone call or a meeting in the following days.
Prepare for the next day
Some people prefer to go to sleep peacefully after preparing it serving for the next day. So they can get out of bed less in a hurry. After all, in the evening it will take you ten minutes to prepare the clothes to wear the next day or to set the table with everything you need for breakfast. This way in the morning the main things will be ready even when you risk waking up late.
Wanting to remember dreams
When you wake up you never remember what you dream but would you like to do it? Try to express with firmness and conviction the desire to want to remember the dreams you will have during the night. Express this desire consistently every night and you will see that slowly something will happen. Repeat to yourself: "I am going to fall asleep and I know that dreams will come and that I will remember them in the morning". It is important to keep a notebook with a pen on the bedside table to immediately write down dreams upon waking up before the memories and images disappear.
Meditate
Those who already follow a meditation practice can take advantage of the time available before going to sleep to sit down and dedicate themselves to meditation with peace of mind, once all the tasks of the day are finished. If you have never tried to meditate, sit in a quiet and comfortable place, take deep breaths and try to pay attention to both the rhythm of your breathing and the sensations of your body. Try to detach yourself from what you have been doing during the day and just think about relaxing.
