Creating a Night-Time Routine for Productive Mornings

Morning routines may get the most attention when it comes to improving your workday, but what if your night-time routine was just as important? Here are some tips to improve your evening routine so you can enjoy a more productive morning.

Ditch Caffeine After 4 pm

Coffee might be your best friend in the morning hours, but in order to get a proper night's rest, it’s important to stop drinking caffeine by 4 pm, as it can take up to 6 hours for caffeine to leave your system. If you’re a fan of after-dinner coffee or tea, try your best to stick to decaf options.

Prioritize Healthy Meals

Be sure to eat a healthy, nutritious meal at the end of the day, ideally a few hours before bed. Afterward, use that time to prepare your breakfast and lunch for the next day. While you should include a variety of nutrients in your meal, you should also reward yourself with the occasional snack too. By spending this time planning your meals for the next day, you’ll avoid needing to pull something quickly together in the morning that may not be as healthy.

Spend Time Cleaning

When your environment is disorganized, it can be hard to relax and get ready for bed. Spend some time at the end of each day tidying up, especially in your bedroom. Not only will a small daily clean-up help you stay on top of any clutter, but waking up in an organized space can have positive benefits on your overall happiness and productivity.

Plan Tomorrow, Today

A great way to avoid any morning stress is to plan ahead. Use your nightly routine as an opportunity to look ahead at the next day’s schedule, planning everything from your outfit to your to-do list. This way, when your head hits the pillow, you’ll be more likely to sleep soundly knowing that you have a plan in place for when you wake up.

Try these tips for a night-time routine that leads to more productive mornings.
