Recipe For The Zzzzz

I don't know about anyone else out there, but at bed time, I like to unwine with a BANG, if that makes any sense. I lead a pretty stressful life (before you judge, people's tolerance of stress varies) and at the end of my days I find it hard to just close my eyes and go to sleep; there are so many things I'm left to think about. And so that is when I bundled everything I do to get relaxed before bedtime into a routine list.

First, I take a warm, soapy shower to relieve all the tension and grime of the day.
Second, I apply a lucious and aromatic lotion, and let my skin drink it up and be quenched.
Third, I boil a cup of tea (preferrably one with chamomile and lavender) to soothe and relax any anxiety or nerves.
Fourth, I get cuddly under a warm blanket and fluffy pillows, to create a heaven-on-earth effect.
Lastly, I meditate briefly on the day's occurences, talk to the G-O-D above, and recharge the energy for the next day.


Hopefully this routine helps anyone who has been suffering of minor stress or trouble going to sleep. It sure helps me out! It doesn't take long at all and relaxes the body gradually.
