Your body can’t rest if your mind is still running. Journaling before bed isn’t just writing, it’s releasing. When you take a few quiet moments to put your thoughts on paper, you tell your nervous system: “It’s safe to rest now.”

Sleep improves when your mind feels heard, not silenced. A simple nightly reflection can reduce anxiety, calm the body, and help you drift into deeper, more restorative rest.
