Morning light helps set your body clock. Evening light can push it later. That is why dimming your lights and disconnecting can make sleep easier, especially in perimenopause when sleep feels extra sensitive.
My simple night routine:
Turn off overhead lights and use a lamp
Put the phone away, yes away away
Open a book, even one page counts
Get in bed and let your body get heavy
Long exhale, soften the jaw, drop the shoulders
Bright screens close to bedtime can delay melatonin timing and increase alertness. This is not about being perfect, it is about making night feel like night.
