So last week I was tagged by Baby Not Included in The Bedtime Tag
I’ve never really thought about my bedtime as being part of routine but I thought I would take a look and join in anyway!
Here goes…..
- Describe your usual bedtime routine.
Lately, I have been going to bed at the same time as the kids. Daddy is often late home as he works all the way in London. Usually what happens is I make a cuppa for me and fill the kids water bottles head upstairs read in my bed with them then they go to their bed and I have a bath while watching YouTube or I grab a magazine and flick through that in my bed while I drink my decaf tea!
When hubby gets home We stick on something light Like not going out or Miranda Stick on a sleep timer and fall asleep!
- What are your favourite pyjamas?
I love my Jammers that I bought just before Christmas they have pockets and are really comfy. I tend to wear them with a coordinating vest top or my But first coffee t.
- What is your current bedtime reading?
I used to read books all the time but since having the twins I just can’t seem to get into them! I tend to pick up a magazine now at bed time!
- What would I find on your bedside table?
I like to take my Vitamins at night so they are in my drawer , In November I was diagnosed with silent reflux so I have a bottle of Gaviscon and I have to take one 5ml spoon before laying down, a bottle of water to drink before I go to sleep and first thing after waking I have to hydrate in a morning or I can’t function! , my empty tea-cup, When I get to bed I remove my I watch, Pandora Bracelet & Glasses so they are also on my bedside.
- What scent makes you sleepy?
Chamomile tea, I have a tea that’s blended to help promote sleep so now when I smell it, it makes me sleepy.
- What is your usual bedtime and wakeup time?
I tend to go to bed around 7.30 / 8pm but sleep around 9.30 / 10pm. I hate these dark mornings but I try to wake up around 6.30 to give me a good half hour to have a cuppa before the kids wake up!
- What are your top three bedtime products?
My Jammers, Sleepy time tea, and my jammers
- What is your most common sleeping position?
I like to lay on my tummy with my left leg straight and my right leg bent up towards my tummy, my hands under my pillow!
- Do you have anything you like to take to bed with you?
My cuppa!
- What is your worst bedtime habit?
Like a lot of people, I think Its looking at my iPhone just before trying to sleep! Studies have shown that being on your phone increases dopamine, the same feel-good chemical that’s released from the brain when people take drugs or drink!
I really need to stop this addiction!
So that’s my bedtime, not really a routine but it is what it is! I think having looked at it wrote down like this I really need to shake my routine up a bit. there’s no wonder I don’t sleep very well!
