Night Rituals

[The Captain]

I recall a topic along these lines a while ago, but couldn't find, so I'll pose it again:

What do you do to get ready for bed and to wind down at night? Do you have any nightly routine, or do you just do whatever feels most natural at the time? Do you think your routine works, and perhaps should other who have trouble falling asleep try it?

I generally do a series of exercises, crunches, pushups, situps, and streching followed by a shower. Next, I'll turn on the TV for a little while to catch the news and then Sportscenter. Then, time permitting, I'll pop on here for a little while before going off to my room to listen to music and sleep.

Granted, this routine will change quite a bit very soon as school will cause me to turn in earlier.

How about all of you?

Take care all.

I was thinking about making this topic. Yay!

I basically just crawl into bed and the rest of my stuff is done there. I say my prayers and then I curl up and make up a good story to tell myself. And then I drift off. The end.

I'm generally online until about 12:00 talking to people, after which I use the bathroom, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

WEll um i really dont have a schedule of what i do at night I'm normaly watching flash movies on newgrounds.

[Cless]

I don't really have a bedtime routine. When I get tired, I sleep and that's the most complex it gets. However, I do have a really weird sleeping pattern that is constantly changing. Yesterday I woke at 11pm and now it's 7:52am (in the UK). I have always had this sleeping problem and it is very hard to set right as it is so unpredictible.

flash movies on newgrounds.

4 more hours online..then bed...either that or masturbation

[Xander]

I don't really do anything to prepare for going to bed except sometimes have a bath before, it makes me sleep better.

Or if I can't get to sleep I play my GBA in bed or watch some TV for a while.

Um, I fall asleep listening to music on my discman. When I'm really sleepy and dozy-offy, I just switch of the thing.

[Jack]

Listning to music usually

[Silmaril]

I walk around all over the house in my pj's, listen to the radio/read then lie awake thinking/worrying about tomorrow and then drift slowly to sleep .

[Samuraid]

I stay up...

and stay up...

and stay up...

and possibly stay up some more until I am exceptionally tired...

then I go to bed.

It's about 3:30 AM right now and I'm not tired yet.

Whatevertime I happen to get off work that day I go home and check this place out. Then I go to eat (I hate having set meal times soooo much). From their it depends on if I have to work the next day ot not. If so I'll usually hang around the barracks doing whatever to fullfill my time while usually listening to my radio. I'll check in here at random intervals throughout the night, just because. Lately it's been web design that filled my time up but the past few days I picked up my playstation controller again. I always seem to make it to bed around 11:00 to 11:30. If I don't work, then between 2-6 am.

[Faris]

Stand in my room doing absolutly(sp?) nothing.
Then do the nightly routine (brush teeth, change clothes...)
Then after my mom leaves for work, I play a game in the PS2 untill I fall asleep.
On weekend nights, however, I stay on the computer for as long as I possibly can, without getting into trouble, or creating an aliby if I do get caught

[m4tt]

I watch tv from my bed until I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

[DMKA]

I don't have a schedule. I just do whatever until I'm tired then fall onto the futton and go to sleep. Yes I sleep on a futton...what? Why are you looking at me that way?
