Almost every night before bed I follow the same routine. Let the dogs out, brush my teeth, wash my face, let the dogs in, lock the doors, spend some time in the Word, read whatever book I'm in the process of reading, lights out. This is the way it has been for years and it works for me.
After I heard about Judy's (a friend of the King's Mom) routine, I realized I need to rethink my get ready for bed process. Judy is a night owl, or an early morning owl, it depends on how you look at it. Which ever way, she stays up until 2:00 am or 3:00 am, this is due to her work schedule for years. Her husband worked on the road for years and was only home on weekends, and not even every weekend. Now they are both retired. Judy is trying to get to sleep at a more reasonable hour and get used to having her husband around all the time.
She said the solution to sleeping earlier involves watching the 10:00 news, grabbing her book and a Dove ice cream bar and going to bed! She eats the ice cream, does some reading and is able to fall asleep by midnight.
As soon as I get to the store and buy some Dove ice cream bars I'll let you know how it works!
