How long does it take you to get ready for bed ?

By the time I’ve washed my face, applied various lotions, brushed teeth, flossed, and water pick, it’s 7:30 and time to put my nightgown on. That took 20+ minutes. Then I prep the coffee for the morning. Throughout the evening I have to use various eye drops. Go to bed at 11:15, toss & turn, sleep for 15 minutes and then more toss & turn. Too bad that didn’t count as exercise. Wake up again at two for more tossing & turning. I can’t sleep without a heating pad.
Believe it or not, "tossing & turning" could count as exercise! I sometimes do exercises in bed while waiting to fall asleep (lifting legs or arms, doing sit-ups, lol).
 

if I took a Nap in the middle of the afternoon... I would be up until 4am... that's the truth... my body seems to need to be awake at least 12 hours before I can sleep again
Perhaps your body needs to get a bit (ahemmm) busier. It's better than a sleeping pill, and if memory serves, more fun.
 

Yes but I haven't.... and anyway I'm not looking for romance... I have no interest in that side of things while I'm still married...
My apologies. I had based that assumption on the desire to join equaled looking for romance, nevertheless, I was wrong in assuming that, and it was a misunderstanding on my part.
 
I feel myself falling asleep, so I quick shut down the heat, lights out, wifi/computers off, close kitchen, and hit the bed. Maybe I'll lie there reading for hours or maybe I'll sleep --but not for long. On rising, I have maybe five to seven hours of productivity before I get sleepy again. This repeats twice, maybe three times a day. What a waste of time!
 
Never had a TV in the bedroom. I don't make the bed in the morning,I like to air it out. I lay out my clothes for the morning. Then I go to the bathroom, clean my teeth and put them in to soak overnight. Wash up, apply some potions and lotions and get in bed. The bathroom light is on a motion sensor. It waits a minute for me to get in bed and than the light goes out. The time varies.
