Wind Down

I make a cup of this exactly 45 minutes before bed and it's become my most reliable wind-down signal — the chamomile and passionflower combo genuinely calms my racing thoughts.

Sleep Environment
Â
I've owned three different white noise machines and this is the one I keep coming back to — the fan sounds are completely analog (not a looping recording) and the volume range goes high enough to drown out street noise.

I gave up on every cheap foam sleep mask after trying this silk one — it sits completely flat against my face, zero pressure on my eyes, and it doesn't tangle in my hair.
