You’ll Want to Steal the Bedtime Routines of These 5 Creatives

From tea rituals to no-phone zones, these tastemakers share the nighttime habits that help them reset and drift off with ease.

If mornings set the tone for the day, our evenings shape the way we arrive in them. A good bedtime routine doesn’t have to be elaborate; often it’s the simple rituals that create the most impactful sense of calm. When we visited a handful of creatives for the launch of our 100% Organic Cotton Collection, we asked them to share the practices they rely on to gently close out the day – the ones that soothe a busy mind, spark connection, or simply make slipping into bed feel a little more like a luxury.

Here, five of our favourite women across New York City, London, and Byron Bay reveal the evening rhythms they swear by.

Mélanie Masarin, Founder of Ghia

Routine: A phone-free wind-down and a few quiet pages

For Mélanie, the transition into night begins with distance. From her phone, specifically. “I try my best to put my phone as far away from me as possible,” she says. What follows is a grounding ritual: a cup of tea (her current favourite is Rest + Digest by Natazia Zu Stolberg) and a few pages of whatever book she has on the go. It’s less about powering through chapters and more about giving her mind permission to relax. “I’ve lately been trying to lay down with whatever book I’m reading, even for just a few minutes, to force my brain to get out of work mode,” she explains.

Courtney Adamo, Author and Content Creator

Routine: Games, books, and early-to-bed bliss

Courtney’s evenings are shaped by family rhythms – lingering at the dining table with her husband Michael over a game of backgammon, then reading picture books to her youngest son, Wilkie. “I love going to bed early – it’s the best feeling!” she says. In the bedroom, it’s all about simple pleasures: washing her face, brushing her teeth, and slipping beneath the duvet with a book. On weekends, she and Michael curl up under the covers with a laptop to watch a movie.

Lana Wilman, Managing Director at Aphrodite Agency

Routine: Boundaries, peppermint tea, and a moment to herself

Lana is proof that a bedtime routine doesn’t need to be complicated to work. “Phone on do not disturb from 8:30pm, peppermint tea and a good book,” she says – a simple trio that creates instant calm. But behind its simplicity is intention: Lana’s routine that prioritises boundaries and the kind of stillness that’s easy to skip – but makes all the difference.

Mariko Kuo, Lawyer and Content Creator

Routine: A shared bath and quiet connection

“A bath with my partner, followed by both of us reading our books in bed,” tells Mariko of her shared evening practice. “It’s a simple routine, but it brings a real sense of calm and connection at the end of the day.” There’s something beautifully unhurried sounding about it: warm water, shared space, reading side-by-side – two people ending the day in the same tempo.

Bella McGoldrick, Artist

Routine: A ‘tap off’ time and cosy wind-down

For Bella, the shift into nighttime is the same each evening: “At seven o’clock… that’s my tap off,” she says. Once her boys are asleep, she showers, moisturises, and changes into comfortable attire – a reset that’s as much physical as it is emotional. “I just feel really good.” Evenings might include a bit of writing, dessert on the couch, or simply doing nothing at all. “Then I’m in bed by nine.” It’s an unfussy, deliberate way to end the day, making space for rest before the world intrudes again.
