Mariannie D.	going to bed July 16, 2005 11:52 PM What do you like to do before you go to bed at night? do you have a routine or do you just feel tired, lie down and fall asleep as simple as that??? or maybe you're like me sometimes and you go to bed to find out that you can't sleep so you get up again and do more work, stuff, whatever, before giving it another try?? are you an insomniac turning and tossing all night? or sitting at the computer trying to find interesting things to do while you can't find sleep?.... or anythingelse?????

Brann R.	Unwinding July 17, 2005 12:09 AM Hi Mariannie, My nightly routine usually consists of a short read, followed by laying down and going through the day in my head. I think of the things I did or said, what I learnt, people I may have upset or pleased and what effected my day most. To me, this unloads and organises my thoughts so they are not just a jumble. I find this relaxes me and helps me get to sleep... [ send green star]
Robbie D.	Oh lucky me... July 17, 2005 12:41 AM I guess I'm one of the lucky ones... I can simply work or do stuff till I've had enough, close me eyes and tumble off to sleep in minutes... No strict routines, although that last cup of coffee, does seem to tie the knot with the sand-man... Robbie.... [ send green star]

anonymous	July 17, 2005 4:23 PM i like to pop on here while I have a coffee take my medicine wait and hour and then I am ready for a nice cool shower until this heat passes, i always use a good face care and eye car routine so my skin stays healthy. When I can't sleep I turn the TV on and it usually bores me to sleep if not I will check my e mails or read a book. Leah [report anonymous abuse]
anonymous	July 17, 2005 4:31 PM I like to go outside and get some fresh air before I go to bed. Look up at the sky and wonder. It reminds me how small we are, but how important we are at the same time. Then I brush my teeth, wash face...etc. [report anonymous abuse]

Sarvo P.	When I'm asleep - I'm asleep. If there was a fire or something July 29, 2005 10:30 AM I wouldn't have a chance. [ send green star]
Dennis A.	August 18, 2005 1:19 PM I'm a bit of an insomniac, and I detest the use of sleep drugs. I usually "pretend" to go to sleep right after the Tonight Show monologue (habit I picked up from my Dad). It only takes a few minutes before I resign myself to picking up a book I'm proofing and reading it in bed to the glow of a night light...covered in cats, of course. [ send green star]
Nanette B.	Major insomniac August 19, 2005 10:56 AM I can't think about anything real when I get in bed. I have to make up stories, movies, etc. in my mind that are basically wishful thinking. What would happen if I were on a deserted island... What if I'd lived in mideval England... something like that. [ send green star]

Cindy S.	August 28, 2005 12:48 AM Hmmmmmm...I never have a routine (I'd probably do better if I did, but I'm unfortunately impulsive and am liable to do most anything)... I am a night owl, and am known to wake up at any given hour, sometimes I just go outside and meditate, read, but alot of times, I will get on the S.A.D. group and see if anyone needs any help and have often sat up with the ones who are having trouble with dealing with life, but I haven't had a chance lately, due to having to take care of circumstances in my own life...but someimes, I have to step aside as I am an Empath, and unfortunately soak up the feelings of other's, so I have to sometimes back away a bit and 'refuel'... I'm happiest most when helping other's. I have everything I need in life (not everything I want, but all I need) Right now, I'm on my spiritual path, and I love waking up during the night, because that's when I feel most spiritual and can gather my thoughts.

anonymous	August 28, 2005 1:29 PM I take a sleeping pill everynight and watch tv until I fall asleep [report anonymous abuse]
Gizzaroo G.	September 06, 2005 5:45 PM It varies with me. Usually, when things are on a "normal" schedule, I will watch TV...typically a movie, then get sleepy, and go upstairs to bed. If I don't watch TV, I am on the computer, playing around on the Internet until I get sleepy, and then go to bed. Sometimes I treat myself and will take a pot of herbal tea and a piece of honey toast upstairs to bed and enjoy this while I watch "Nick at Nite." I know...corny, but it is relaxing.

Saz B.	going to bed September 06, 2005 9:40 PM I dont have a routine, but my biggest problem is when I actually feel tired by the time I get myself into bed im wide awake...... sometimes I just lay there for hours thinking til i pass out! Its quite annoying..... but ohwell, sometimes thats life! [ send green star]

Foxy V.	February 17, 2006 9:00 AM before going to bed i make sure kitty roomate Svoura has enough food in her bowl or she will be waking me up at 5 am because she is hungry. Other than that, the last thing i do before closing my eyes and dream away, is talking to my baby. last goodnight and first goodmorning are his. [ send green star]
José M.	A routine say The Great Invocation November 03, 2007 5:11 AM My rioutine is just before going to bed and when I woke up I say thre great invocation THE GREAT INVOCATION From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth. From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men, The purpose which the Masters know and serve. From the centre which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. that way saying the great invocation i think i help the planet but I´m spanish and logically I say The great invocation in spanish i say LA GRAN INVOCACIÓN. Desde el punto de Luz en la Mente de Dios, Que afluya Luz a las mentes de los hombres; Que la Luz descienda a la Tierra. Desde el punto de Amor en el Corazón de Dios, Que afluya Amor a los corazones de los hombres; Que Cristo retorne a la Tierra. Desde el centro donde la Voluntad de Dios es conocida, Que el propósito guíe a las pequeñas voluntades de los hombres; El propósito que los Maestros conocen y sirven. Desde el centro que llamamos la raza de los hombres, Que se realice el Plan de Amor y de Luz; Y selle la puerta donde se halla el mal. Que la Luz, el Amor y el Poder, restablezcan el Plan en la Tierra. [ send green star]
