I start my night time routine round about 11 o’clock at night by getting a glass of water from the kitchen.
I then go up stairs, put my drink on a window sill next to my bed, and go next door to the bathroom.
I brush my teeth and remove any make-up I have been wearing on that day.
Washing my mouth out to make sure there is no lingering tooth paste, I rinse my retainer under cold water and put that on.
Once I’m back in my room, I get changed into my pyjamas.
I get under the covers, usually just a duvet cover and I go on my laptop between 40-60 minutes, catching up on YouTube videos, or reading a chapter of a story. Recently I’ve been watching an episode of RuPaul’s drag race on Netflix a night. Once the episode has finished and I’m all caught up with videos I will turn off my laptop and place it beside my bed on the floor. I get up to plug in my phone to charge and turn on a fan on a slow setting as I like to sleep with a constant noise, which blocks out any possible loud noises that can disturb my sleep. The slightest noise will keep me awake. After all that, I turn the lights off.
I get into bed, lying on my front with my head resting to towards the door or pathway in a room and hopefully go to sleep. Depending on how strenuous the day has been it can take up to 20-60 minutes to fall asleep. (There are some days that do not follow this schedule as my sleeping pattern varies).
Most of the time I only get about 5 hours of sleep a night, and while doing this exercise as made me realise that the lack of hours might be due to this route and what I do before sleep.
