i read myself to sleep with a flashlight. reading makes my eyes heavy and the flashlight means i don’t have to keep my husband awake.

My most treasured bedtime ritual is crawling into bed at “bedtime” and talking about the remains of the day with my sweet boyfriend. It’s the most relaxed time of the day and it becomes so easy to express myself for some reason when I know I really should be sleeping soundly ;)

My bedtime ritual is, alas, bittersweet… My husband and I are on opposite schedules; we live in San Francisco, yet he works Asia hours (translation: approximately 4pm-4am PT, Sunday through Thursday). He has a stressful, demanding job and has terrible sleeping problems. So I’ve made it my bedtime ritual to create a comforting bedtime ritual for him, especially since his “bedtime” is when most of the city is waking up!

I make sure to have a fresh pitcher of iced tea made (decaf of course), some healthy midnight snacks in the fridge, and non-work-related reading material on the kitchen table, accompanied by a little note – anything from a Post-it to a pretty letterpress card (those are actually more of a treat for myself, truth be told!). Every so often, my note houses idle threats about his messy living habits and the impending ramifications, but most of the time they convey encouraging words and a Papermate goodnight kiss.

Every night I get into bed with our 6 year-old and read to him. While my husband get into bed with our 8 year-old and read WITH her. I have just started reading chapter books to our son and, although it seems trite, there is something wonderful in his eagerness to know “what is going to happen next?”. We sometime talk about what we just read but most often he just wants to go to sleep. We then hold hands under the pillow while he drifts off to slumberland. I often stay and watch him for awhile. There is nothing more relaxing and peaceful than watching your children sleep. I find that’s all I really need to get me ready for my bedtime.

I tip-toe to my son’s bedroom and whisper to him “good night.”

Hmmm… I’ve gotten in the habit of watching an episode (or two or three) of How I Met Your Mother before I go to bed. It tends to excite more than calm me, but a few cuddles from my boyfriend and I’ll be fast asleep.

Oh swoon!! I loveeee her bedding!

My favorite ritual is to do a few downward dogs and get in my last stretch of the day before getting into bed and reading. This question makes me want to have more rituals for everything!

My favorite ritual is a tickle fight with my husband. It releases all of the stress of the day we collapse breathless and fall asleep cuddled up in each others arms.
