I have never had a bedtime routine, and I probably never will. Maybe that’s why I have such difficulty sleeping at night! Up until university, I’ve never had my own bedroom, always sharing with my sister, so that causes some disruptions to my night routine. I welcomed sleep as a teenager, getting it whenever I could and sleeping most of the day too, but moving into adulthood its quickly became something I fear and dread as the day progresses. There is no set time that I will go to bed, but my routine almost always starts with a cuppa tea! I’ll stick something on the telly, usually something binge-worthy like Gavin and Stacey or RuPaul’s Drag Race. In the meanwhile, I will take my make-up off, moisturise my face and then cover my face in Sudacreme to attempt to get rid of my spots (haha). When I get bored of TV or realise its actually getting too late and its probably passed 2 AM and I have a 9 AM the following day, I will brush my teeth and lay in bed for probably a good few hours until I finally drift off…. And probably get sleep paralysis! Ha!
