Bedtime routine/runway.

[Ronni]

Ron announces he’s going to bed. Takes vitamins, brushes teeth and pees, turns on tv, promptly falls asleep.

I take the dogs out to pee, give them their joint supplement and then bed them down, load the last random stuff in dishwasher and start it, take my evening supplements, fill up my water bottle to put by my bed, set my phone, watch and AirPods on chargers, bring Ron’s phone into the bedroom and plug it in to his charger, lock laundry room, den, kitchen and front doors, turn off all lights, head to bedroom, brush teeth, pee, fall into bed.

Before I go to sleep I check Facebook, email, and DMs, check weather for tomorrow, and maybe play a game or two if I can’t immediately fall asleep.

To be fair, if I’m extra tired and need to just fall into bed myself, Ron will go round and do all the house and dog things that I normally do.

What’s your bedtime routine?

Pretty much the same...except o/h is in bed wayyy earlier than me because he works a 12 hour day and has to be up at 5am.. making a 14 hour day including travel...

We sleep in separate rooms so before he gets home in the evening I set up his water, and close his blinds and set his lighting how he likes it, and the heating if needed .. so when he gets home, he can go ahead have a shower, the room is cosy to get changed .. then he'll go downstairs and eat something and watch TV while he's eating then bed...

Just a few minutes before bedtime, I can do all this during a commercial, I lock the doors, go in bedroom and turn on a small light, it changes colors, go to kitchen and take my night meds, put my hearing aids into the charger and take off my compression socks. Make it back just as the program starts again. Whew...

I usually prepare for beddie bye waaaaay before bedtime
I like lounging around in my bed shorts

So, when sleep gets in the way of the late late show, I;
snort awake
announce my intent
pee
grab the water bottle outa the fridge
and trudge to the pillow top
(bed stand light is already on)

Wife beats me in bed every time
Even has my covers pulled back
(I'm spoiled rotten)

Scrunch my pillow
grab what's left of the NY Times crossword
Determine I still don't know the answers
Turn off the light
Open the window
Spoon to the dessert of sweet slumber

I've taken to "divebombing " into bed , as though I were nine years old again!
I always either shower or have a warm epsom salt bath before igo to bed
(in case some phantom "dream lover" joins me!) hahaha!

my doors are locked at all times so that's one less worry. i just like to double check to make sure i locked the front door and didn't leave the keys in the lock. (did that a couple times)
i turn off lights as i go. depending on the racket outside and from the neighbor determines whether 2 fans on high are needed or 1. the computer is set on plutotv most nights as well.

put my teef in to soak
go to the bathroom and hit the sack.

For me it's a hot bath, brush, floss, and gargle when out, have a drink of water, turn lights off in the house, climb into bed.
