# Night Routine

End your day intentionally. Wind down, prepare for sleep, plan ahead, and build consistency.

## What it does

- **Wind-down checklist** — Guided steps to transition from work to rest mode
- **Sleep prep** — Screen cutoff, environment optimization, relaxation techniques
- **Next-day planning** — Brief review of tomorrow's priorities and calendar
- **Consistency tracking** — Monitor your routine adherence over time

## Usage

**Start wind-down**
Ask for a guided wind-down session. Clawd walks you through screen cutoff, breathing exercises, and transition activities.

**Plan tomorrow**
Review tomorrow's calendar, top 3 priorities, and any prep needed. Sets you up for a purposeful morning.

**Sleep prep**
Get specific recommendations: room temperature, lighting, music, reading material, or guided relaxation based on your preferences.

**Check routine**
See your evening routine status—what you've completed tonight and where you are in the sequence.

**Track consistency**
View weekly or monthly routine adherence. Identify patterns in nights you sleep best.

## Common Elements

- **Screen cutoff** — Set a time to stop checking devices; Clawd reminds you
- **Tomorrow's priorities** — 3 specific tasks or intentions for the next day
- **Gratitude** — Brief reflection on the day—what went well
- **Reading** — Recommended books or articles for wind-down time
- **Sleep environment** — Temperature, darkness, sound, and comfort settings

## Tips

- **Start small.** Add one element at a time (e.g., screen cutoff first, then gratitude the next week).
- **Consistency beats perfection.** Missing one night doesn't break the habit; pick it up tomorrow.
- **Customize timing.** Your routine should fit your schedule—whether you sleep at 9 PM or midnight.
- **Log what works.** Track which activities help you sleep best; double down on those.
- **All data stays local on your machine.** Your sleep patterns and routine data remain private and encrypted on your device.

Overview

This skill builds a restful night routine that guides wind-down habits, sleep preparation, and next-day planning. It helps you transition from work to rest, optimize your sleep environment, and track routine consistency over time. The goal is better sleep and a calmer morning through small, repeatable actions.

How this skill works

Start a guided wind-down session that walks you through screen cutoff, breathing exercises, and transition activities. Use targeted sleep-prep recommendations (temperature, lighting, sound, reading, or relaxation) tailored to your preferences. Review and set three priorities for tomorrow, log a brief gratitude reflection, and record which steps you completed to monitor adherence over days and weeks.

When to use it

  • When you want a structured ceremony to end the workday and shift into rest
  • Before bed to optimize room conditions and follow relaxation prompts
  • At night to plan top priorities and reduce morning decision friction
  • To track routine adherence and identify nights with better sleep
  • When you need reminders to stop screen use and focus on sleep hygiene

Best practices

  • Start small: add one habit (like screen cutoff) before layering others
  • Keep timing consistent; adjust the routine to fit your natural sleep schedule
  • Log outcomes nightly so you can detect which activities improve sleep
  • Focus on consistency over perfection—missed nights don’t break progress
  • Keep personal data local and encrypted on your device for privacy

Example use cases

  • Begin a 15-minute guided wind-down that ends with a breathing exercise and lights-off reminder
  • Run sleep-prep checks: set room temp, dim lights, play low-volume relaxation audio
  • Quickly review tomorrow’s calendar and specify three top priorities before bed
  • Check routine status to see which steps were completed tonight and where you can improve
  • View weekly adherence charts to identify patterns tied to good or poor sleep

FAQ

Can I customize the timing of each step?

Yes. Customize start times and durations so the routine fits your preferred bedtime and evening schedule.

Where is my routine data stored?

All data stays local and encrypted on your device to protect privacy; nothing is shared externally by default.
