Well i was just wondering because as of now i am feeling sleepy. What i normally do is play around on my mobile, text or go on the web or msn facebook, check mails anything really. Right this moment i'm on mylot. And yep im going to sleep after this discussion.
So what do you do just before you go to sleep? Most probably you read a book or listen to music. If not then what do you do? Or do you do nothing and concentrate on sleeping.

If you are talking right before I go to sleep then that is an easy one, I say my prayers. I have a whole routine with the bathroom, checking the alarm clocks, looking in at the kids and what not but right before I try to sleep that is what I do.

[b]I forgot to add prayer. The thing is, I used to do that right before I went to sleep, but after realizing I was going to sleep in the middle of it, I decided to move it up earlier in the evening. And of course, I pray throughout the day for this & that--usually for people I know who need help, & blessing meals, etc.
I don't talk much about prayer, but I thoroughly believe...no, make that KNOW, that prayer is effective. I've seen it happen first hand.
Never underestimate the effectiveness of prayer! Just keep in mind sometimes God says no. Those are the times when you've asked for something He knows isn't good for you, but you can't see the big picture (the future) as He can, so you simply must trust Him.

I lay down, I pet a cat, another cat, shove a cat out of my face, pet another cat, get my feet under another cat, pet the first cat, shove a cat out of my face, again, pull the covers up - along with 40 lbs of cat(s)
think I have too many cats?

[b]I sleep before I go to bed. 
No really, even though I'm galloping up to geezerhood, I take naps a lot. Supposedly people, as they age, need less & less sleep. Not I!
Well, really, I do pretty much what I do all day before I call it a night. I pet the cat (if she's in the mood--treats usually achieve that 
), do word puzzles and/or read, watch TV, & think.
I know. Boooorrrriiiiinnnnggg.....
But you asked!

[b]Nonono...not all people do! 
I've been known to leave my eyes open (when exhausted), plus I talk, dance (lying in the bed), & even sing in my sleep!

This is like a similar discussion I've responded to before? Anyway, I normally think a lot before I go to sleep? AHahaIt's a good thing I've cut down a lot on that bad habit, hahaIt's amazing though when I see my wife - once her head hits the pillow she's already in dreamland, haha

I am usually online before I sleep, there are times that I fall asleep on my computer desk while I am working online. LOL.. There are times that I want to reach my target say for example I want to make 30 posts that time, even if I am already sleepy I will not stop posting hahahaha.. until I will reach my target.. and I fall asleep on my computer desk but just for few minutes only then I proceed typing until I reach my target.

Hey there! After I wash my face and brush my teeth watch TV. Once I feel sleepy I'll turn it off set my alarm clock and go to sleep. Have a nice day!

i would text him "good night, i love you, sweet dreams!"... then i would play games downloaded on my cellphone until i tire my eyes and go to sleep. he he he.. it's actually a routine already. whatever i do before that, would vary. sometimes i watch tv, or read books, or send text or sms to friends, etc... but it would all end up texting him good night and playing cellphone games until i get to sleep. hehehe... pretty boring, huh!?

I am usually at work on my computer before I go to sleep. When I find myself getting tired or distracted then I take that as a signal that it is time to sleep. Cheers!!
