Design My End-of-Day Wind-Down Routine

If you go straight from the laptop to the pillow with your head still buzzing, sleep doesn't stand a chance. Give it your schedule and stress patterns and this builds a wind-down across three phases: offloading the day, settling the body, then easing towards sleep. Built around your hours, not a generic bedtime checklist.

Design a personalised end-of-day wind-down routine for someone with the following schedule and stress patterns: {SCHEDULE_AND_PATTERNS}. The routine should span {WIND_DOWN_DURATION} minutes and transition me effectively from work or high-stimulation mode to a calm, sleep-ready state. Structure it in three phases: decompression (cognitive offloading and transition rituals), regulation (body-based settling practices), and preparation (environment and mindset cues for sleep). For each phase, give specific activities with time allocations, the underlying rationale, and a 'minimum viable version' for nights when time or energy is limited. Flag any common wind-down mistakes I should avoid based on what I've shared.
