Staying up late and scrolling on your phone can ruin your workouts and lead to unhealthy snacking. Establishing a consistent nightly shutdown routine, such as putting away screens and packing your gym bag, helps protect your sleep and energy levels. Preparing the night before ensures you have the strength and focus needed to succeed in your fitness goals the next day.
