I don't mean now brushing your teeth or washing your face, but something you do with you partner or with you kids febore you go to the bed. I remeber when I was kid, we would always ask this question before we went to sleep. "We love each other, right?" And then together we would say(at the same moment) "yes, we do"now if I remember this it makes smile on my face. Today when I go to the bed with my hubby, we would kiss each other, wish a good night and then I would put my head on his shoulder for a little bit, just to relax and feel secure and after few minutes I would go on my side and fall in sleep.Sometimes I would hold his hand.Whould you like to share you night habbits with us too?

What a great moment that you have had with your hubby, I enjoy reading your well arranged words for your nice romantic story. And frankly I like it, as female we need to share that feeling moment with our love one with one love, deeply. (SMILES). I have three kids. So my duty is to ensure that my one lovely motherhood kiss falls onto their forehead, respectively. Even though maybe at that time they were sleeping. I got some extension, Laurika. Between me and my hubby, I think there are similarities with your story(habits). I jokes him sometime, I asked him "why in English, for husband and wife, there is a term used as 'my other half' and with a polite manner we introduce our life partner to any third party, by using that word?.". What made me laughed was, he spontaneously answered me this way; previously 1/2 + 1/2 = 1, but now no longer because new add maths said that 1/2 + 1/2 = 3 (my kids). He is a great joker, Laurika (for me only!!!!)..we laughed and sleep. Sorry Laurika, for taking your time. Really sorry. Peace be upon you, Laurika.

well before going to sleep I just go to the toilet , and check out if all the things are in order , I live in a hostel so I dont have any such peculiar sleeping habits , because everything I do depends on the situation.

We do not do the kissing stuff, that is when we make love. I usually go to bed first, so there is not that ritual, "I love you honey" kiss=kiss good night. We watch Tv together and then we get into the search the Tv listings and he says there's nothing on Tv, and I suggest something or he wants to watch something, and I will say, "I'd love to. I'll watch it when it is on another time, but I have to go to bed now." I am light sleeper and need all my sleep.

Generally, my habits are, I would have a glass hot chocolate and then sit on the net all night and after that, meditate a little and go to sleep. :)

My cat and I play Monster under the Bed. He's a goofy cat and he goes and hides under my bed so when I walk by to get in bed he jumps out and attacks my feet! So then I have a string in there that I put over the side of the bed and wait for the "Monster" to come get it. He's silly. We do this for about 10 minutes then I tell him I'm going to bed. He'll claw the side of my bed a few and then either crawl back under or jump on top of the bed and we go to sleep.

LOL No doubt! It would be best if he was just lying beside me each night, but I know he has to work! I think though that it makes him being with me much more enjoyable when we have spent time apart, so I guess its ok! lol Bay xx

We have a couple of stuffed teddy bears that sing a little bedtime song. The girl bear sleeps on my side of the bed and the boy bear sleeps on his side and we usually talk to each other a bit and then we have the bears sing us a little duet. They have done this for many years, so now their little song is like a stimulus to sleep. Mostly we are starting to drift off before they finish. If we are in a hotel room then maybe we have to sing the little song to each other, because without our "sing bears" we might not feel sleepy.

Hi Laurika. Well, if you don't accept the answer for brushing my teeth then I guess I have no answer for your post. Haha. Personally I will just work until midnight and brush my teeth and sleep. Haha. That's it..Nothing more than that as well. Haha. Well, when I was a kid, I guess my habit was to get scolded by my parents before I sleep. As you know, we children don't really sleep before we get scolded. So, maybe my habit will be hearing,"What is the time now? GO TO SLEEP NOW!" before I sleep. Haha.

Before I go to bed, I always have the same routine. I give the cat a cat treat, I brush my teeth, I use the loo and then I go around my flat and make sure everything is turned off and the stuff that doesn't need to be plugged in, isn't plugged in! It's something I started to do when I moved into my first flat and realised I had to pay for my own electricity instead of relying on my parents! Ha ha! After all of the above, I kiss my hubby on the forehead, put a film on and fall asleep! Boring maybe, but it works for us, and if I miss something out, I can't sleep! Lol!

Well, this is a very bad habit that I should probably break out of soon! Lately I've been falling asleep infront of the tv and I can't seem to get to sleep without it! It's like it's keeping me company or something...strangeee I know.

I usually read before going to bed. That helps me get to sleep usually. Sometimes I will have a cup of tea.

When my children were little we would read a story book, then I would tuck them in bed with a song and a kiss. Now they are older and we read a chapter in the Bible before bed, but they tuck themselves in now.

Hubby and I have a set of chores to do every night and ever morning which is give the cats their treats (temptations). Give the dogs their milk bones and treats, fresh water out back, kitchen and out front. Refill the dry cat food, wipe out all feeding bowls. Check the doors to be sure they're locked and then we go to bed.
