Normally, most people have a set procedure before they hit the sack like change, brush teeth, read namaz, read book, sleep, read tasbeeh, watch tv, go on gupshup (hope not!).
What do you do before you sleep? And what ensures that you get a peaceful nights rest?
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
It's so long that it'll take almost as long to type it all out as it does to actually do it.
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
lol, it probably involves putting Harris to bed and I guess its different for married women. :)
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
Husband goes like clockwork while BBCurdu is on the computer (He rigs it by the bed). He insists he listens to it everynight, but usually after the first ten minutes -- out like a light. I call it his lullaby.
Myself, I have to read, at least a half an hour.
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
lol minah, your husband sounds funny :), sticking strongly to his roots hey? how much of urdu do you understand?
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?

Re: What’s your ritual before going to bed?
Oh yeah, I hadn’t even accounted for the putting-the-baby-to-bed part…add on another hour in that case.
Re: What’s your ritual before going to bed?
Afia, why figs? I’ve started reading surah Mulk before bed as well.
Gosh to be a mother, God bless you all :k:
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
catty ...figs in milk are my newly found love ...taste heavenly when those dry figs like melt in ur mouth
honestly, i'm addicted to it:)
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
oh ok :) I thought it was for a health reason!
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
Well..I start of with drinking about 12 oz of water.
Then I wash my face with Zirrh's night time rejuvinating facial cleaner. Followed by Kiehl's eye protector...to minimize puffiness in the morning...
I then brush my teeth and floss.
I subsquently apply Kiehl's facial lotion and work it deep into the skin.
Unfolding the corner of the duvet and the top sheet, I slide in while Mrs. Matsui tucks me in. I then am handed my book du jour...usually something light (so not to give me nightmares) like works by David Sedaris, Chris Moore etc. Once I start getting the jhapki...I ask Mrs. M to turn out my light and give me a long kiss goodnight.
Yup every night
Re: What’s your ritual before going to bed?
Matsui nooooooooo 
I refuse to believe your beauty regimen is longer than mine!!
So much water, how many times do you get up to pee?
Nice ritual, thankyou for sharing. :k:
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
Allah has blessed me with good pipe infrastructure Catty...
Th eproblem is when I travel. I can't seem to get tucked in probably. :(
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
catty, shhhhhhh, in front of him, lol, I am total ignorance. However, I am picking up phrases here and there. Yeah, he does keep in touch and there is a population of Paki's in Philly so I hear more Urdu and Pashtoon than I do English so it's rubbing off slowly.
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
figs are supposed to be really good for your hair...to make it healthy and glossy! so afia you've found a beneficial new taste for figs!
Re: What’s your ritual before going to bed?
take off clothes and jump into bed. 
best is birthday suit 
sometimes I brush my teeth for 2/3 mins :k:
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
minah pa you're not pakistani?
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
Don't really have one. I wash my face and do all my cleansing as soon as I get home. Before bed, I get into my pajamas, read a book, listen to some music, maybe chat with a friend for a bit ... brush my teeth then jump into bed.
Re: What's your ritual before going to bed?
um...depends - in school I dont know how I fall asleep sometimes - and sometimes I just decide enuff is enuff, throw my books onto the desk, clear off my bed and sleep.
:(
Otherwise, if I'm more relaxed, then aside from the restroom rituals, I'll have some milk (stopped that), watch some rerun or the other on tbs or the wb or some channel (seinfeld, friends, everybody loves raymond, sex in the city, etc)...
then I'll climb into bed, and I'm usually gone in like 15 minutes.
