Avoid checking your email constantly, instead ask your partner about their day. You can share funny incidents or make future plans for a trip. This can help relax you both and you might sleep a lot better.
2. Don’t bring your phones to bed
Your phone might be very important for your work, but try to avoid looking at it when going to bed. Instead, focus on your partner and spend good time with them. Spending too much time on social media can have negative effects on your intimacy, so make sure you switch of your phones at 9 pm.
3. Happy couples go to bed together
If you don’t work different shifts, it is important to go to bed together, especially if you don’t have enough time for each other during the day. You can also perform simple activities together like brushing your teeth or making the bed. This can help maintain the intimacy between the two of you.
4. Have heart-to-heart conversations
Always pay attention to each other because you need to talk about your problems with a person you can trust and rely on. Your partner is the ideal person for that who will never be judgmental about you and will try to propose a solution to your problems.

7. Give each other a nice massage
Light massages can help you relax, reduce anxiety and also improve your sleep quality. These advantages are even stronger if the massage is provided by someone you love as it can be very intimate and romantic, so take turns and enjoy.
