Productivity Tuesday - My Bedtime Routine

I want to start a new series of posts here on my blog. These will be about my challenge to become more productive!



I want to start with my bedtime routine. I must confess that I am a raging insomniac, there are nights when I go to bed and when my alarm rings I stand up and I haven't managed to sleep at all. But I feel that when I manage to follow my bedtime routine and just lay there for some hours I feel a bit rested and more ready to tackle the day than when I don't.

I know that bedtime routine is most of the time something for babies, but having one as an adult is pretty awesome.

I like to start getting ready for bed about one hour before I go to bed, I as well try to go to bed at the same time every night. Both of these things help my body to realize when I am going to bed. 

I try to start my bedtime routine at 9:00 PM


09:00 PM - 09:15 PM 

A quick tidy up around the apartment, it is strange how much you can accomplish in fifteen minutes.Usually I just put things in their right places, do some dishes or even quickly clean the floors.


09:15 PM - 09:30 PM

I like to drink my magnesium about this time, I really do feel that the magnesium helps me to sleep better! And read some blogs, answer e-mails and other internet related things.


09:30 PM - 09:45 PM

I use my boar bristle brush and start brushing my hair. I brush it through from the roots to the ends and braid my hair, then I start washing my face, brushing my teeth etc.


09:45 PM - 10:00 PM

My alarm clock has a special go to sleep setting and I just love to use it. I put the go to sleep mode on 15 minutes and read until the light has dimmed too low and then I put on couple of episodes of something I have already watched frequently and drift to sleep.

Next week I will be writing about how to get better sleep!
