evreyone has a habit of their own, doing something before they retire for the day. a daily habit follows automatically. many want to do something good and sweet to make their find fresh and free from all existing tensions of life..like listening to one's favorite musics etc but many of us has a weird habit of bringing on all the tensions what we have in life or what we have gathered all through the day really makes one habit before sleeping...like it happens with my mom. actually most of us try to end our day with a habit of "very own" that can include anything like in my case its "mylotting" :-D What you friends generally do or your habits of "very own" before you all retire for the day??

I don't think I have weird habits. I fill up all the hot water bags for my kids and me since it's freezing cold outside (and the temp inside is not that great either). I put them in the beds and cover my kids. I check all windows and doors if they are closed. I put out the electricity of the tv set (there is no switch off button on it). I get undressed, brush my teeth, say goodnight to my other daughter who probably is still awake, go to bed and stretch my legs (and hope I fall asleep without any pain).

hello WAKEUPKITTY , you do have a long "to do" list before retiring for day and it does sound that after a long day you probably do feel like just going for sleep better than initiating any sort of habits as such.

I usually watch a bit of t.v., or am online either earning or just chatting with friends. It depends on what the next day will bring as to when I go to bed. Tomorrow I have to be up early so i will be going to bed at a fairly decent hour. I work until midnight on Sundays and most of the time do not have to work the next day so I usually stay up later and enjoy my time by chatting with a frined or watching t.v.

Before I go to bed I have to relax in a nice hot bubble bath. I love soaking in the tub and reading at great book. It helps bring me down from a long day at work and able to fall asleep better.

I think it's very important to do something that is going to be relaxing before you go to bed at night. This is because you need time and chance for your brain to switch off otherwise you're just going to be thinking about what you've just been doing and you might not be able to get to sleep because of this. I like to read my book or have a bath before I go to sleep, as I find that this makes me relax and get to sleep much more quickly than I would have done if I'd been on my phone or my laptop or anything like that.

I have to check whether my pets are asleep or not..haha..that's my habit. I don't think it's a weird habit too. But i was always confused. Whenever i told my friends about this, they laugh and say "hey, that's weird!".

I love going to bed each night. It's my time to spend a few quiet moments with my fiancee to talk about things we couldn't discuss in front of the kids, but more importantly, for intimacy time. I'm not talking about physical, but playful talking fun... just enjoying being with each other. Our nights always end with a sweet good night kiss, a promise of sweet dreams and a restful sleep, and an "I'll see you in the morning". lol. Sometimes we'll watch a bit of tv, or play with the cats, or fiddle around with our smartphones (and maybe help each other out with some "Angry Birds" levels? lol). And on the rare night when my honey is working late, I'll spend some "me time" in bed, praying to God about my day, thanking Him for all that I'm blessed with, and falling asleep content with my life.

Hi! The favorite thing that I do before going to sleep is washing up because its really nice that you feel fresh as you retire to bed. It also relieves stress.I always pray before I sleep and read the bible as well. I apply cream on my face and lotion all over my body. It really feels good to sleep feeling fresh and clean.;)

Well, I guess there is nothing special in how I go to sleep at night. Just after brushing my teeth and cleaning my body, I usually go over my laptop and do some surfing. Then after, I go directly to sleep. Sometimes, right after work when I arrive home I will go directly to sleep. That is when I am pretty much exhausted after work. Basically, I think what I do is quite normal and nothing special.

Hi sayo! Not much of a habit but since I was a teen, after dinner I used to brush my teeth, take a shower or at least wash and clean my face. Now, before I make myself busy on myLot, I do all those things. I pray before finally sleeping.
