🛀 Today’s tip: For a better night’s sleep, take a hot bath before bedtime.

We’re a week in, and already 2021 is just as exhausting as its predecessor. If you haven’t slept much the past couple of nights — and really, who has? — try this science-backed tip from Elemental’s Kate Green Tripp: When you’re ready to call it on the day, take a quick hot soak in the tub before going to bed. (A shower or heating pad would also do the trick.) “Heat goes a long way toward relaxing tired muscles,” Tripp explains, “and relaxed muscles make it easier to fall asleep.”
