Bed time routine is the one thing you need to train your body when it is bed time.
My Doctor said to me that what you need to do is start slowly, try going to sleep 15 mins earlier than you do now, for a few weeks, then another 15 mins, slowly bringing it back to the time you want to actually go to sleep. It may take you a couple of months to get your body trained properly.
Right now I'm ignoring mine so my sleeping patterns are terrible. Back to the ritual again methinks.
My usual one.
Light candles in bedroom
Shower
Warm drink & multi (have the night time ones)
Meditation
Snuff candles in room, slide into bed
Relaxation technique to relax all parts of body
Then drift off to sleep.
At the moment I'm not getting into headspace for sleep until after 11pm so the routine is thrown out of the window.
