Abominable Snowman Posted January 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I always always always kiss the poster I have on my wall of Roy Orbison before I can get in under the covers and sleep. I don't feel right not doing it, it has to be done every night. You? Edited January 23, 2014 by Dummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted January 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I pray on my knees. Same thing - I don't feel right NOT doing it. I pray during the day as well but at night I always do so on my knees and ask for guidance if another day is mine. If not then I thank the Creator for what was given. It helps me to sleep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one-I also pray a lot but sometimes I forget which isn't right. I do have a strange habit of blessing myself though, even without prayer. I just catch myself doing it without fully realising what I'm doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beelzebufo Posted January 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I read horror stories. I know, not the best thing to do before going to bed, but it's just become a habit of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful_perspective Posted January 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I always floss my teeth in bed while reading. I have a Kindle so I prop it up against a pillow which leaves my hands free and then I will floss my teeth for a good 30 minutes. Its a really strange habit. (It may seem kind of gross too, but I swear I always do a rigorous teeth brushing prior.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominable Snowman Posted January 23, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I read horror stories. I know, not the best thing to do before going to bed, but it's just become a habit of mine.

sarah_444 Posted January 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Aside from the boring dog/kid/bathroom responsibilities, I always try to remember on my favourite moments of the day. Sometimes I write them down in a notebook, but most often it's just a bit of reflection and gratitude for the awesome parts of my day. That and chapstick. I always have to put on chapstick before bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingCorpse Posted January 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have a ritual that takes up most of the night, it's called trying to get to sleep, it doesn't work unless I take my sleeping meds Uhmz, yoga, lots of reading and bagels and gazing at the trees and what swirl the sky is cooking up, watch cartoons and old snes platform games, child remnants soothe haphazard mind wandering I guess then hope that I eventually pass out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca-RoseElsie-Raemom1921 Posted January 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Take Ruby (my dog) out for her bedtime toilet break, shut and lock back door, take meds, turn lights off (other than a lamp and tiny light), say goodnight to the dogs, check under the ends of my blanket for spiders (happened twice there's been dangerous ones), get into bed turn off little lights until Cooper (male mini Fox terrier) barks he wants the light on to jump on my bed, lay down and try to sleep. Then get woken in the morning by a goodmorning text or Cooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk9653 Posted January 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I always end up reading for an hour.. I meant to stop reading for so long, but sometimes you just can't stop. I also always go to the washroom. When I go to someone else's house, I always have to go to the washroom before I get in bed, and when they don't go to the washroom I find it weird. Oh, I also have a really bad habit of eating before bed. For some reason, the moment I go under the covers my stomach starts rumbling, then I get irritated and go in search of food. Like bread and cheese or something Edited January 23, 2014 by Nighthawk9653 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted January 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Behind the wheel included? I tool around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike (as do most people) so there is no lying down. I do rent cars sometimes when I'm traveling, and again no lying down. I dare say if I pulled over and put my head down on the passenger side (assuming there isn't a divider there preventing it) I would fall right asleep. That has happened on airplanes but nowadays they make the armrest unmovable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
