331 - Transform Your Evening Routine: The 9pm Rule & 4 Nighttime Habits
Manage episode 467789525 series 3550121
Do your evenings look anything like this? Finally get the kids to bed and then…
📱 Scrolling endlessly while the clock ticks past bedtime…
😩 Mentally running through tomorrow’s to-do list…
🍷 Reaching for that glass of wine, hoping it’ll take the edge off…
And yet, when you finally get in bed, your brain won’t shut off.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my 9PM Rule—a simple, science-backed evening routine designed to help you shift from stress to deep, restorative calm.
These four steps (plus a bonus!) are small but powerful tweaks that train your body to feel safe enough to fully unwind.
No drastic life overhauls—just intentional habits that signal to your nervous system: We’re done for the day. It’s time to rest.
Listen in to learn:
- Why your nervous system struggles to wind down at night (and how to fix it)
- The 4-part 9PM Rule that shifts you out of stress mode before bed
- A simple nighttime drink swap that helps you sleep deeper and wake up refreshed
Try these steps for one week and see how your nights—and mornings—transform.
