To relax before going to bed, run a trickle of cold water down your spine for 2 minutes.
Why does it work?
When you sleep, your body works at a slower pace and your temperature drops slightly.
Cold water has a vasoconstrictor effect on your body.
It slightly lowers your body temperature and thus prepares it for sleep.
To be soothed before going to bed, I turn off all my screens 20 minutes before going to bed.
Television, smartphone, tablet, video games, music...
Electrical devices have a knack for stimulating our brains and stressing our bodies. Our body is then unable to fall asleep.

Why does it work?
It's scientifically proven!
The blue light given off by digital screens disrupts the production of a key sleep hormone, melatonin.
And it is she who helps us sleep well. If the body does not produce enough melatonin, we sleep poorly.
To sleep well, I turn off all the lights and pilot lights and I close the shutters to find myself in complete darkness.
Why does it work?
The presence of a light in the chamber stops the secretion of melatonin.
If we leave a light in the room, it's like telling our brain that it's time to get up.
It stops the production of melatonin and therefore, we wake up.
That's my grandmother's trick.
She always told me that to sleep well you had to put a square of purple silk under your pillow.
Personally, I opted for a silk pillowcase.
It's so pleasant that I fall asleep immediately.
In addition, it also seems that silk delays the appearance of wrinkles.
