| Once I’m done with my daily to-dos and home for the night, I always take a hot shower to “wash the day off.” Then I get into comfy pajamas, make a cup of herbal tea, and chill on the couch until it’s time for bed.

| What’s your favorite way to unwind and de-stress?
|
| “The way I destress is by getting away from a screen. Since my workday is spent mostly on the computer, I need a different kind of activity in the evening. Lately, that often means settling down with my current needlepointing project — I'm working on an ornament for my mom now! On other nights, it’s about simple, engaging fun, like getting together with friends to play Mahjong. It’s the perfect, device-free way to connect and unwind my mind from work until I’m ready to call it a night.” — Lindsey Allison, associate director
|
| “Showering, skin care, filling out my journal, and a TV show, movie, or book! Usually works like a charm, and I’m out shortly after 11 p.m.” — Sarah Matysiak, associate editor
|
| “A short or long walk, depending on the day. I love tidying up a bit for a mental reset, then reading and/or watching an episode of whatever show I’m currently watching. Sometimes I’ll do a bit of watercolor or something creative if I have the energy. I always end the night with reading until I can’t keep my eyes open.” — Naomi Wilde, editor
