bedtime rituals
Nightly winding-down habits
Bedtime rituals are the habitual activities people perform before sleep—brushing teeth, reading, dimming lights, or setting an alarm.
The phrase emphasizes routine and sequence: Her bedtime rituals help her wind down.
For children especially, consistent bedtime rituals signal the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
