I have shared before here in mylot how I start my day. I usually start it with a coffee and doing mylot and other online activities. Now I want to share with you how I end up my day, what I do before going to bed. Usually I thank the Lord for the day that had past, the blessings and the trials. Whatever problems I have encountered for that day, I lift it all up to Him and pray to give me strength to face it in the next day. After praying, I open the t.v. put it on news and timer and wait for myself to fall asleep. Please share your evening with me mylotters.

I couldn't afford to check my emails all at night. I get so many throughout the day. Most of them are from myLot notifying me of new discussions and such. I have to constantly delete them. I guess I could change the preferences, but I feel like it's nice to know the discussions my friends are creating.

I end my day by surfing the net and watching some documentaries. I usually do some research on thing I want to purchase, things I want to learn. I also sometimes do some photo editing on some of the photos I took. When I feel sleepy I to bed and turn on the tv and set it on timer.

I tend to end my day by turning to channel 101.3 FM while chatting with some friends online. Chatting would usually get me sleepy enough to fall asleep after saying Good night to my friends. Though at times I fall asleep while chatting with them.

My work days are very long and exhausting. By the time I get back home in the evening, it gets close to 10 o'clock quite often. On those days, I would just take a shower and go to straight to bed. On days I get back a bit earlier, I would spend time on myLot and relax responding to the postings like I am doing now before heading on to bed !

Hi aileen~ I usually end my day either mylotting until I am getting to tired to do it any more for one thing! And then I go into bed and lately just pick up my book that I am currently reading and read for a few more hours which isn't what reading is supposed to be doing for me! It is supposed to help me relax and get sleepy~ But, the book that I am reading is so good (it's a fast reading mystery called "Hold Tight"-by Harlan Coben and I can't put it down! So I end up staying up until 4-5AM reading! I have to find more boring books!lol Only kidding! I love great mysteries and I have a whole bunch more to read, including one that was on Oprah's Bookclub List! I happen to see it and it was a decent price so I bought, and of course it is a mystery, my favorites to read!

For me every day truly is different. Some nights I'm just so tired I hit the bed and fall asleep right away! lol On a usual night though I will go to bed a bit early so I have time to read. After I read, I say my prayers and usually fall asleep fairly quickly. Sometimes before I turn out the light I will turn the radio or TV on since my husband likes to sleep with noise. If I don't do it though he turns them on when he comes to bed.

Hi there, i regularly start and end my day in prayers. I ask God to help me in everything that i will do for the rest of the day and so with my family. At night before i sleep, i thanked Him for everything. For the job well done, for the food we eat, for the work we have, for the good health, for the life we live and for a day full of His blessings and graces. Prior to that, I cleaned myself and surf the net then i talk to my daughter and help her with her assignments in school. We made fun with each other together with my husband. Then we sleep altogether in preparation for another day afterwards. Good luck!

After a quick shower and brushing my teeth I watch some episodes of my favorite shows or anime. Or I'll just read a chapter or 2 of any novel I'm currently reading. Then shut down my pc and then go to bed. That's how I usually end my day. Oh, I also send a text message to my girlfriend to wish her good night since she's not with me right now.

Oh yes. I have a routine! I feel weird if I don't do it, but it isn't anything out of the ordinary. I usually come on here after dinner and stay on myLot until it's time for me to hit the bed and dream away. Before I go to sleep though, I do daily hygiene. Usually I'll call my boyfriend to say goodnight and that I love him. Then, I'll climb into bed, say a prayer and have sweet dreams. Recently though, I've been hungry before I do my daily hygiene tasks, so I'll go and grab a midnight snack. I've always been having strange inspirational thoughts right before bed, so I have to write them down. Like, I've recently gotten into writing articles, so I had inspiration right before bed and had to jot it down in order to rest my mind. Sweet dreams!

Usually, I pray before I sleep. I thank him for whatever problems I overcome. Next, I may update my blog with some sort of story that will catch people's attention. Then I may play some games or watch a quick tv show on the internet. All this will take about 20 minutes so I need a bit of time before I sleep.

My activities before sleep are very simple normally, watching TV news for 1 hour,30 min reading! finally I start to count from 1 to 100 repeatedly, which makes me fall into sleep in 2min.
