    Hop into bed.
    Read tragic stories/threads.
    Wonder at the futility.
    Search for meaning.
    Stop on an atheism vs spirituality thread/flamewar.
    Watch several youtube video's on philosophy and belief systems.
    Go to sleep with a genuine sense of dread and confusion.
    Wake up feeling like sht.
    Go round cranky all day.

    I get into jammies,
    put the lamp on and do the hotel "turn down" service thing on my bed,
    light the oil burner with lavender to get me all dozy,
    brush my teeth,
    go downstairs,
    have a joint,
    back upstairs,
    get into bed,
    surf Boards for a half hour on my phone,
    sleep!

    Ideal bedtime routine?

    Sleeping and NOT spending all night on the internet.

    No, if you fill it full of water and use them as often as I do, you know how long it takes for the water to evaporate and candle to burn out. I blow it out before sleep though- it just makes the room nice and smelly.

    Brush teeth, get a couple of sleeping tablets from medicine just in case, Read book, I'm currently reading a borrowed copy George Hook's autobiography, its mildly interesting. After that I switch off the light and usually stay awake for a couple of hours listening to Newstalk repeats, If I'm really struggling to drift off I take the tablets and that has me zonked fairly quickly.

    Lock back door and check front door
    Turn off lights in kids rooms (they are terrified of the dark LOL)

    Go to bed
    Wake up two hours later to kids terrified screams (LOL)

    It's only cold for 15 to 20 seconds, then you're used to it and it makes your warm bed feel like a lil' piece of heaven when you slip beneath the sheets.

    That seems more like a form of non-violent protest than a bedtime routine. You don't even imbibe any alcohol.

    :eek: Wouldn't one suffer from heartburn if one were to indulge in an alcoholic beverage before bed?
