Question 1 of 2

Which of these belongs in a sleep wind-down?

The story

Quarky's brain is still bouncing at bedtime, so he learns a wind-down: dimming the lights, slow belly breaths, a gentle body scan, and letting the day's thoughts float off one by one until his eyes get deliciously heavy.

What you'll learn

  • A wind-down routine has quiet steps: dim light, slow breaths, a gentle body scan.
  • Letting thoughts float off helps a busy brain get sleepy.
  • Calm takeaway: a slow, gentle routine helps your body get ready for sleep.
  • Quarky takeaway: you can help your busy mind wind down, one breath at a time.
