After the school run, the commute or another back-to-back day at work, we all reach for something to switch off. Rank these classic British wind-down rituals by what truly works for you.
Put the items in your preferred order.

A proper cup of tea
There's a reason it's the national reflex. A strong brew in your favourite mug remains one of the most reliable ways to mark the end of the day.

A long soak in the bath
Epsom salts, a podcast and a locked door. For many, twenty minutes in the tub does more than any mindfulness app.

A walk round the block
A slow loop after dinner clears the head and shifts the day off your shoulders, even when it's grey and damp.

Telly and the sofa
A familiar drama, a panel show or the news on low volume. Sometimes switching the brain off is the whole point.

Reading in bed
Twenty minutes with a paperback drags you out of the day's noise and into sleep far quicker than scrolling ever does.
