Is it better to journal before bed or in the morning?


Listen Later

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, a man is what he thinks about constantly. Evening was probably when Emerson wrote in his journal the most. Moreover, a surprising quantity of studies support the assumption that nighttime journaling is preferable to morning journaling.

When writing in a journal, is morning or night preferable? Writing down your ideas before bed can help you get a better night's rest and clear your mind for the next day. Journaling at night is recommended because it allows you to process your feelings and ideas before bed.


Even though there is substantial evidence to suggest that journaling at night is preferable, many people still choose to write in their diaries first thing in the morning. Even more research reveals there are valid points on both sides.

TIMING YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES

Writing in a journal before bed can help you get a restful sleep. So that tomorrow will be a good one for getting things done.

This is especially true if you find yourself frequently waking up in the middle of the night still processing the events of the previous day.

Dr. Michael Scullin, a sleep expert, recently suggested in an interview that writing down your thoughts before bed can help you wind down from the day.

Because unfinished or incomplete tasks can keep you up at night, he suggests writing out a list of things to do the next day. To-do lists may be made with ease using the bullet journaling method. You can find more information in the areas below.
