What do you do before you sleep?

Sleep time is always so sweet, peaceful and comfortable. Sometimes it's like a short period of your personal space where you are free from anything, all by yourself before sleep. So what do you do before you sleep at night? I would normally watch some movies and Mylot a little bit, then lay down and think about what I have done today and what will I do tomorrow, and sleep peacefully hugging my pillows wishing that I can have a sweet dream.

Usually, I try to Watch Comedy films at TV and make some relaxation before i am going to Bed to help me for a good sleep. Also before Going to my Bed i wright in a sheet of paper what i plan to do tomorrow, because, if i do not doing that, i am stay thinking and Disturb my sleep.

Writing out a plan for what you will do tomorrow is a smart thing. I probably need to start doing that myself. I think so much about what I'm going to do the next day sometimes, and that alone keeps me up a lot.

Yes, Writing out a plan for what you will do tomorrow, is emptying your mind from a lot of things Occupy your mind by. and as we all knew we should have our mind away from any thinking during going to our Bed to get Quiet sleep.

I do a meditation before I sleep. This ends my day in a positive way with no worry or concern and I don't toss and turn.

Reading man... - I like to read before sleep; especially a good book.
My sleep is not so good these days because I am not as well as I once was. I am waking up feeling still tired. And I am sleeping a lot during the day to catch up, which I hate doing. Each time I sleep, or try and sleep, I like to read for a while. It usually relaxes me; but sometimes I find it very hard to relax before sleep. So will just turn out the light and wait for sleep.

Hello there squallming, I love my alone time just before sleep time. I always go to bed at least half an hour before I want to go to sleep. I live alone now, divorced for almost 4 years, so I treasure my bedtime alone. I turn on my TV and listen to the news and I do a little bit of sudoku, a number puzzle, and I relax. This helps me to fall asleep. It usually only takes me about half an hour to get sleepy and that is when I will turn off my TV and lay back and fall asleep. I do the opposite of you as in I try not to think about anything because if my mind is going, I can't fall asleep. That is why I need to watch TV and do sudoku because it gets things off of my mind. Happpy mylotting and cheers my friend, Chris

Mine is to jotting down the tasks that I will do the next day, checking as well if all the tasks for that day were accomplished or not. I will update my plans also for my long-term commitments, strategies, goals and etc. And lastly is to thank and pray to the Almighty Creator for all the things that were given to us.

When I am not so tired, I usually watch television or perhaps do some posting here in mylot before going to bed. I think we have the same thing in common. But there are times that I just listen to music and relax and sleep with the music on...

i usually watch my favorite series while downloading more. I lie down on my bed with earphones full blast. It relaxes me somehow. I sometimes, rarely, spend much time reading online. I usually do the reading thing in the office. And pray, how can we all forget that. I talk to him before i go to sleep for a while.

Dear Squallming, What a great question! I spend some time relaxing in my bed by watching TV before I sleep. I pray to the Lord every night before I sleep as well.

Hi Squallming, I like to read a bit before bedtime. i think that helps to keep my mind quiet, and restful. I do not watch TV or movie, so I have more time on hand. Normally I will use the computer, write a few articles or use mylot or other money making activities. Then I will read for a while before sleep.

I cuddle in bed and watch TV. I have my favorite programs so I come down from the computer on time to watch them while I go to bed. Many times I never get to know who was the bad guy as I turn the lights off if I feel too tired. But then I see the same shows on reruns, so it doesn´t matter so much.

I usually watch TV or hop on Facebook for a while, then jump into the bed and eliminate every bad thought. I start chasing my dreams and think of all the things far away like playing the guitar in front of millions and such. The bed is my favourite place to be in. It's always safe and provides shelter if you are stressed and have many problems.

I am usually on the computer just before bedtime, go to the bathroom and go to bed. When I get settled in bed, I thank God for the day I had and ask for many more and send blessings to those who I feel need it or have asked for them. I usually feel a calmness, then, and drift off to sleep.

I used to hear music while I am going to sleep. Actually hearing those ones help us to keep our mind from tensions and other activities. So to sleep well without any problem hearing songs are very good. What do you think ?

When I'm going to sleep I usually listen my favorite music and reading some discussions here in mylot. That's makes me feel relaxing. I really enjoyed doing this before I go sleep. And mostly I forgot to shutdown my laptop and off the music because I fell asleep.
