@arthurcbrooks: For centuries, people of every faith have ended the day with a prayer or a passage they recite from memory. Research shows that this kind of nightly ritual helps your brain settle, improves sleep architecture, and creates a reliable cue that it’s time to rest. If you’re not religious, you can still use the same principle. One I often recommend is: “I’m grateful for this day… and I finish it in peace.” Say the first part as you inhale, and the second as you exhale. Your brain learns the pattern. Your body follows. And little by little, you finish the day in peace.
