Take a warm bubble bath. Soak in it for half an hour.
Listen to soothing nature music.
Use a scented lavender candle or have something scented lavender to change the mood of the room. Lavendar is noted to make you sleepy.
Drink warm chamomile tea.
Give your self a mud mask facial.
And have somebody massage your feet.

You can also go to a spa for a back rub of 30 minutes or more. Which is even more relaxing.

I find that 10 minutes in a hot tub or hot bath helps me relax.
I I am really uptight, I go for a walk or bike ride for 20 minutes first.
There are also yoga relaxation exercises which are good.
Deep breathing helps too!
