Do You Have A Routine?

I am going to bed at 10.30, I dont have a usual bedtime, but maybe I need one. Except nights when the weather is bad. I don't have a certain time to get up, and I was thinking perhaps, I need more normalcy in mu life. I don't think it could hurt. So do you have a routine, for going to bed and getting up? I'd like to know?

A bed routine? Well, sorta. I get in bed around midnight, then actually go to sleep 2-3 hours later. I had to get up at 7:30 AM (or earlier!) so many years, so there’s NO WAY I’m getting up early anymore, unless it’s for an appointment. The only appointment I tend to make that early in the day is my dermatologist, because he’s usually behind after the first patient. (Not that I object: he actually spends time with his patients instead of zip in, zip out, and that’s that, something I admire in doctors and is sorely missing.)

How on earth, it would take a lot of years, to be able to do that. Lol. Hang in there.

Yes, I have a routine I follow. Because I'm up early to go swimming, I'm in bed by 8, 9 at the latest.

My wife would argue that I am way too routine oriented. I find having a routine is helpful. Although, there are times as well when breaking it is in well in order.

I do. Once I wake up, I must prepare lunch, eat breakfast, feed the cats, bath and prepare for work. All must be done from 4.45 am to 6.00 am. Then when I got back, I must make sure the cats are fed or they will kill me and make it harder to do other things, the water is boiled, prepare to cook for tomorrow, bath and eat whatever for dinner. All must be completed before 11.30 pm. Later than that, I'll sleep late and have a hard time waking up the next day.

I usually go to bed near midnight but I want to start to go earlier as I always wake up very early in the morning.

I think as we get older we become more comfortable with having a daily routine. When your a youngster your playing not planning Some of my routine is having my morning coffee with a pastry, later going on the computer and seeing what's new in the news, in the evening watching a few TV programs I enjoy or have taped, and then going on my treadmill a few hours before bedtime. My routine my vary at times but the things I do are pretty consistent.
