How do you unwind before going to bed?

It is already a habit of ours (my husband and i) to watch TV shows before we finally go to sleep. We would watch it from our bed while lying down. Along with it, we would share stories every now and then and jokes. We enjoy watching TV shows that makes us laugh and happy. Thus, we go to sleep when we are already too sleepy to watch.

What works for me is usually listening to some slow music like acoustic love songs from the 80's and 90's. I know some people dose off from listening to other kinds of music but yeah listening to music is a good way to relax and clear your mind from the stress of the day. Try a series of tracks from one artist because they usually are on one theme(like for me is David Pomeranz).I hope this helps you in any way. Not getting enough sleep is one other form of stress that will take out your energy but at least you can do something about it.

Well, I can easily fall asleep, so the best thing to do for me to be relaxed is that I watched TV then not noticing that I am already asleep. Sometimes I read books, but before I get to the next page I fell asleep already..

It's a great thing you have the luxury of a hot bubble bath. I'm also an insomniac at times. I just walk around. Tire myself out somehow then when sleepiness gets to me.. I hit the sack :)

I myself,my job is always stressful and by the time i get home from very long day at work what i do is chill and relax for a while,my way of relaxing is to surf the net online.after that i take a warm shower.Love to have a bubble bath but i am getting lazy preparing for bubble bath,after my shower have a warm glass of milk and red some book.or sometimes i listen to a relaxing music.That's my way of unwinding myself.

nothing beats watching a good movie for me, the art of relaxation is just deep meditation putting the mind at rest.

I unwind before bed firstly by having a late night snack...I know I shouldn't, but I hate going to bed hungry. After that, I'll watch part of a movie, provided to me as part of my DVD rental package, which is a very generous one, and there are some excellent movies to choose from. Then once I'm in bed, I'll read from a book; failing that, a newspaper, but I far prefer reading from books than papers. And not just any book...a new one purchased either from my local record store, or online through Amazon. I especially like biographies; the longer and more detailed the better. Finally I'll settle down to sleep...I relax by running imaginary stories through my mind. It doesn't take me long to get to sleep; but sadly I'll often wake up unrefreshed. Still...my nightly ritual is a source of great pleasure and peace to me; especially if both the movie and book are to my liking.

Before bedtime, I make time for a nice warm quick sponge bath. I like going to bed clean so that my body becomes relax and free of dirt. I also comb my hair hundred times to massage my scalp. If my husband is around, I usually request for a back massage to loosen my nerves. In this way I get a nice cozy sleep.

First of all, the best thing that I really do before going to bed to unwind is taking a nice deep breath. There are just going to be a lot of times where the events of the day are going to get to me. I don't want to really focus on them as I am getting ready to rather go to bed, so I have to take a moment to relax on those thoughts and push them right to the back of my mind. Of course after a trip to the bathroom, a nice good book is something that is going to help me unwind as I ease off to sleep during the evening. There are just a lot of times where reading both enriches and relaxes my mind as I am going to ease off in bed. There are times where about thirty minutes to forty five minutes of reading and then I am off to bed. I wouldn't advise watching television before bed, as I once did that and I get too riled up.

hi:) before I go to sleep I will drink warm milk and have a quick warm shower. then check my email and do some mylotting or visit my facebook for a couple of minutes. or sometimes when I'm lazy to surf the net and socialize online, I read some books or play some soothing music.

i always surf the net for atlease i feel sleepy. Im the kind of person that is always day dreaming for the best. I can sleep after i day dreamed a good house. Lots money and many things. I cant sleep when im thinking negatively. It really sucks the hell out of me.

i just think of all those wonderful thing happened to me. Then further more i always set up a plan for tommorow. I always do that every night.
