There are many persons with some kind of ritual which they without fail carry out before going to bed .Some may for example check their doors ,windows ,or charge their phones .I personally dont have any such ritual except turn off my lights and climb under my sheets. Do you have any such ritual ?

I do the usual thing, turn on the alarm, and having to put my husband to bed because he has als and needs help, and he is fussy. He wants the blanket on a certain way, his hands a certain way, his knees bent a certain way. But what I also do is to turn on the ipod and we listen to Dragnet. Before that it was Louse Lamour. or if there is something good on Tv we will watch that. I also pray when I go to bed, but even though I did close the fridge door, I sort of feel that I did not do a good job or it and get up and check it again. When will I never learn

I wish I had confidence that I did remember to close the fridge at night, but it is one of those side by sides, that look as if it is completely shut when it is not. One time before I did the checking routine, it did not close and we had to unplug it, put the food down in the freezer. We could have used the old fridge we had in the basement then.

I brush my teeth before I go to bed. Usually, but not always, I pick up the book I'm reading and read a few pages before going to sleep. And if I can stay awake while doing it, I pray to God.

I don't have a ritual either. I just wait till i'm so sleepy that i think i can go to bed & sleep which sometimes i don't do a good job at doing that. Sweet dreams.

I do not have any rituals. I'm reading book's or learning for next day in school...(study, so :) ). Sure, I'm turning off light before I go sleep, it's normal I guess. Some times I listen to music too. I don't think it's rituals, only things what I do.

I usually turn off the lights, check the doors, go to the bathroom and then head to bed. It's the same every night. Oh, I also check the stove to make sure that I didn't leave any burners or the oven on. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Other than using the restroom and brushing my teeth, I don't have any rituals either. My husband always tells me to go start on my nightly thing before I go to bed..lol.

When it’s time for bed I am usually so tired that I wouldn’t even remember a routine! I do sometimes try to tidy up the lounge a little before going to bed so I don’t walk into a mess in the morning but this doesn’t always happen if I am feeling exhausted. Aside from brushing my teeth and getting my PJs on that is it. My mother on the other hand is hilarious before bed. She takes about 45 minutes to organise herself with complicated teeth brushing, face washing and moisturising. I didn’t realise how long it takes to get to bed until we shared a room while on holiday; I swear she never used to be so pedantic years ago!

There are a couple of things that I always do before I go to bed. I make sure that the rabbits and the guineapigs have enough water and after that I take my medicine, I brush my teeth, and I make sure that my alarm clock is working and that the doors are locked. My husband usually goes to bed before I do, and when I go to bed the dog is already sleeping in our bedroom next to the bed. If he is awake I sometimes open the door for him so that he can get outside. When I go bed I usually read for a while before I get sleepy.

Hi ronny, I too follow the same routine of checking the doors,latch,locking up the front gate,turning off all the lights,and keeping the milk bag with the coupons outside and taking a short walk round the garden just to see that everything is alright...it becomes such a firmly established habit that you automatically do it night after night...

i usually watch movie or tv before bed and put them on auto sleep, i can't sleep without it. even i feel sleepy and try to sleep ill be more awake, but if i turn on the tv ill sleep very easily, its a bad habit i guess...

I have quite a ritual that I go through before I am able to get into bed in the evening. First, about an hour before I intend to go to bed I will turn off my computer for the night. Then I will watch some tv. After that it is time to go to the bathroom and then head to the bed. Once I'm in the bed I have to read at least a chapter of the book that I'm currently reading and then I will finally turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Let my dogs out to do their final piddle duty, check the locks, turn on my alarm system, say my prayers, turn off the lights and then ...night night! In the morning it is the same ritual but in reverse.

My hubby checks the doors and windows. We take turns getting our kids ready for bed. That usually includes reading bedtime stories. We also make sure our daughter is packed up and ready to go for the next day.

I do. I turn my alarm on, go to the bathroom one last time (with the hopes that I won't need to go during the night!), get my coffee pot ready so I only have to push the button in the morning!

I usually check on my son, lock all the doors, set my alarm, drink a glass of water and brush my teeth. It's not always in that order but those are the things I do on a nightly basis. If I forget to do any of those things, they get skipped because once I'm under the sheets, it's game over.
