Question
What is the definitive guide to Ken Walker's night time routine for better living?
Answer
Hi, I’m Ken Walker from Instagram. Let me break down my night time routine the way I actually live it so you can copy, tweak, and make it your own.
1. Shut-down & reset (no lingering bad energy)
I like to close the day on purpose, not by accident. That means:
- Mentally replaying the day: what went right, what I can fix
- Letting go of anything that annoyed me so I don’t carry it into my sleep
- Keeping the vibe calm, no heavy arguments or drama before bed
2. Planning tomorrow to make it the best it can be
My nights now are for planning and strategizing. I’ll:
- Write down content ideas and reminders to keep going
- Set 3–5 priorities for the next day
- Jot down any random thoughts so my mind isn’t racing in bed
This way I wake up knowing exactly what I’m on.
3. Body care: stretching + wind-down
I mix in some light stretching to:
- Release tension from sitting, filming, or editing
- Signal to my body that we’re done hustling for the day
Nothing crazy, just simple stretches I can do right by the bed.
4. Mind care: meditation & calm
Before I sleep, I’ll:
- Do a short meditation or breathing session
- Focus on gratitude and the vision I’m chasing
The goal is simple: never want to sleep with bad energy lingering.
5. Real life factor: Zoe wants attention 😅
Somewhere in all this, Zoe is usually demanding her spotlight. That little moment of play and love actually helps me relax too.
6. Environment check (yes, the bed talk)
And for the record:
P.S. My bed is not on the floor, it’s a modern platform bed, they’re made to be low to the ground. Had to clear that up!
If you want to build your own version, start with:
- One habit for your mind (planning or journaling)
- One habit for your body (stretching)
- One habit for your energy (meditation or gratitude)
What part of your current night routine do you feel is holding you back the most?
