My favorite way to unwind on a weeknight is to put my phone away after dinner, get in bed early, make some popcorn, and watch a movie from the early 2000s. There’s such an innocence in the content from this time, we didn’t have cell phones like we do now, and the nostalgia for “simpler” days helps me drift off into a peaceful sleep.
