Maybe a humidifier could work? Combine it with a gentle sleep meditation for better results.

I might try that, although I’m cautious about increasing humidity due to mold issues in my home. Thank you!
@Vern
In that case, maybe avoid running the dehumidifier at night to strike a balance?

That could be a good compromise. Thanks!
Writing, painting, playing calming music on an instrument, and practicing focused exercises like handstands or stretching can be great evening activities.

Handstands seem challenging, but maybe I could work up to them as I regain my health. Do you find them helpful for relaxation?
@Vern
Handstands require practice and focus but don’t elevate your heart rate much. They can be a great physical focus that aids relaxation.

That’s intriguing! I’ll consider trying it out.

I use the Calm app, which features sleep stories narrated by soothing voices. The stories are short and help me relax quickly.

Sounds like a useful app. Thanks for the recommendation!
I use a sauna blanket for relaxation and blue light blocking glasses to reduce eye strain from screens. Sometimes just crocheting while listening to audiobooks is enough to unwind.

A sauna blanket sounds amazing. I’ll look into it. Thanks!
I watch old movies, especially during the holiday season. It’s a cozy routine that includes dim lights and a comfortable space.

I love old movies too, like ‘12 Angry Men’. There’s something special about them.
@Vern
Absolutely, there are countless classics to enjoy, and they make for a perfect evening.

That sounds wonderfully relaxing. I might add some Christmas lights to my space too.
@Vern
It definitely sets a relaxing mood. I highly recommend it!
