I like to watch television before bed after I soak in the tub; it’s my way of unwinding and getting to that sleepy place. Now, my roommate in college loved to talk. She could talk for hours before bed; it was her opportunity to process the things that had happened during the day and get everything off her chest. Sometimes she talked for so long, I couldn’t help drifting off. But of course, others like to read, talk on the phone, stick in some headphones, check email, or get physical with their bed buddy. So what about you? What’s your standard bedtime routine?

reading! definitely.
1I usually wash my face or have a shower with my man, then we go to our bed and watch TV and cuddle.
2He doens't come to bed with me, so this is "our" time. And then he kisses me goodnight and tucks me in.
my bf and i usually go to bed at the same time...normally we talk for a while about whatever...sometimes we write down the things we need to get done for the following days....then we cuddle and fall asleep if we dont have sex!
3lately ive been watching old episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore show on my boy's laptop while we lay in bed lol..he falls RIGHT asleep but it takes me a while to drift off
4bath, watch sex and the city in bed with my bf and eventually drift off to sleep.
5I'll go make sure Fuji's water bowl is full so he doesn't come whining to be fed water in the middle of the night. And then, I'll brush my teeth and Fuji's...and then, read the news on my cell phone until I pass out.
6Play on the internet for awhile, brush my teeth, wash my face, and then lye in bed hoping I fall asleep.
7Read. I can´t go to sleep if i don´t read.
8My routine is brush my teeth, take out contacts, wash face, fill up water bowl for doggie and kitties (one of my cats LOVES freshly drawn water so he is always eagerly awaiting the return of a fresh water bowl). My bf usually calls me at about the same time every weeknight so we chit-chat about our day and try to figure out what to do over the weekend. After the call, I sleep time the tv for 1hr and try to fall asleep before it shuts off.
9Headphones....Listen to my favorite music
10Watch the news and do a soduku puzzle
11Usually, after an especially filling dinner, I'll plop on the couch and watch TV until I pass out. Then my husband will wake me up when he's ready to go to bed. Then I shuffle to the bed and pass out again. I know, that's gross.
When I DON'T OVER EAT, I'll watch some TV, play with the cats, brush teeth, wash my face, sit in bed with a magazine, listening to the radio with my Sunrise Alarm clock set on sunset mode so the light gets dimmer and dimmer...which slowly eases me into sleepy time. Then I'll take my glasses off and then the rest of the light slow fades out.
12Take the dog out, check his water, brush my teeth, wash my face. Then curl up in bed with a good book or magazine for 30 minutes to an hour (sometimes longer if I can't put it down!).
13I'd take a basin out and depending on the weather, fill it up with hot or cold water, a drop of bath oil and sponge myself clean. Then I'd settle on my bed, and read.
14well me and the bf watch tv, then we brush our teeth together and i wash my face and stuff, then it's into bed for either sex or a cuddle session and then we just drift off to sleep.
15A little TV and then I wash my face, brush my teeth and moisturize.
16Read, cuddle with the pup, say goodnight to the husband.
17I save my bed for sleep. I know myself well enough that if I watch TV, read, do my nails... anything else at all in my bed, I will be comnpelled to feel like I should be doing something when I lay down to go to sleep. I stay in my living room until I get sleepy, then turn on my electric blanket, wash my face and teeth, and crawl into my nice warm sheets. By the time my head hits the pillow, my body knows that I am in my sacred "sleep space" and I am out!
18make myself a cuppa tea, the sleepytime kind, and either read a book or watch comedy central/food network.
19I'll wash up for bed, moisturize and put on eye cream on, then jump in bed and then I'll put my TV on sleep for just enough time to watch Sex and the City which comes on at midnight after Friends, or other times, I'll flip through my fashion mags that I get behind on.
20I watch tv and fall asleep with it on. Or sometimes I study for test I have coming up or surf the internet.
21I tuck the kids in, take a shower or bath, check on the kids and watch TV in bed with my hubby. I love bedtime!
22In college, my roommates and I used to drink tea and smoke cigs for hours before bed. I really miss those times. I quit smoking which is good but I still miss the great conversation. Now, I pretty much shower and watch Sex and the City before bed.
23make din din, watch law & order, wash face &brush teeth, ask bf if he want to head to bed.... he might stay up and play video games (i hate them) or he will go to bed with me. i we both fall asleep fast.
24It usually involves some kind of snuggling with my overly-needy cat!
25I take my puppy out, feed him and get him ready for sleep time. I go take a shower, lay in bed au natural and surf the net or watch a movie on my laptop til bed time.
26Okay i just started this in March because I really wanted to get my body "prepared" for sleep. So I turn off ALL my electronics and take a shower, then get really cozy and wash my face and brush my teeth, then just lounge in my room reading a book until I feel sleepy. The whole process takes about an hour and then I can fall right asleep.
27Read a book or magazine, it makes my eyes tired and I fall right asleep.
28washup & brush my teeth and invisalign trays (so annoying!), take my biotin pills, lay in bed - read a Bible verse or two & pray then hope I knock out in 2.7 seconds.
29when i had the room all to my self i always listened to radio. now that my brother moved in into my room I play my DS before going to sleep and i also text my boyfriend or call him before goin to sleep. so it is ds and sidekick
30read, for sure, set my alarm, and text my boyfriend goodnight!
31Watching T.V. in bed with the bf for sure. And we have to have one (or more!) of the dogs on the bed to mess with for a bit. My boyfriend is a pilot, so it never fails that we end up watching the Weather Channel for FOREVER - puts me out like a light!!
32I do a little crossword puzzling with my boyfriend.
Then when he gets too tired, I just read for a bit.
33Depending on the night of the week, I might watch some TV. I might play around online for a bit too.
But I always wash my face, brush my teeth, get in bed and read for about a half hour before I go to bed.
34I brush my teeth and wash my face. It depends in what kind of mood I'm in, but I either watch TV or read before I fall asleep. I wish I had my boyfriend around to cuddle with.
35Read and/or journal over a cup of tea. Then brush teeth, wash face, moisturise, and sleep!
36Wash my face, the hubby and I watch a little tv and maybe a little bit of action takes place. If not, we shut the tv off and get some shut eye.
37Brush my teeth. Wash my face with an anti aging cleanser. Moisturize. Then take something to help me sleep.
38Shower, check my email (and Sugar!), then I take out my contacts, brush my teeth, moisturize, and take my medicines, then I crawl in bed to read until my boyfriend calls, and when finished, go back to reading.
39My boyfriend, my dog, my cat and I all curl up on the couch and watch TV or a movie. Then, after my bf and I wash our faces and brush our teeth, we all get into bed and cuddle more until we fall asleep. And sometimes I read for awhile in bed.
40I watch TV in the living room until a specific time, then promptly brush my teeth and go to bed. Once I'm in bed for about five minutes, there's no chance of rousing me again without major grumpiness.
41A combination of internet & tv or listening to music, followed by reading a book or magazine & smoking (I know, gross, but I am a smoker and I have one right before I go to bed every night)...then, finally, listening to a specially designed playlist I made for bed time as I doze off. Sounds weird, but its on my computer, and its all the songs that I love and find easy to sleep to...most music I find I concentrate too much on to listen to, so its just stuff like Kiss from a Rose by Seal for example, slow and mellow, and I switch up the song order and add new ones in all the time. I HAVE to listen to music as I get to sleep.
42I HAVE to watch at least an hour of TV in bed before I can fall asleep. I hate talking on the phone before sleep...It seems to wake me up!
43have sex with my man of course
