My Night Routine |

What is night routine?
This can be defined as those activities one observe before going to bed.
Some of the activities I observe before going to bed is.
- Taking a bath
Before I retire to bed, I usually take a warm or old shower, depending on the weather. If the weather is hot I will take a cold shower, but if it's cold I will take a warm shower.
- Reading
I'm an avid reader, I read atleast a chapter every night before bedtime. It helps me relax my nerves and brain.
- Reading my Bible
My Bible is another thing I don't joke with before going to sleep. I always read a portion of it before sleeping. It helps me to test positive to Faith at altimes.
- Prayer of gratitude
My last routine before drifting to sleep is praying. I always thank God for his mercies, kindness, provision and protection for the day, I also ask him for a wonderful night rest, before sleeping.
My sleep environment |

A good sleeping environment is very important for a restful night rest.
My ideal sleeping environment includes
- Dark room
I usually switch off the light before sleep. Research has shown that it's best to sleep in a dark environment because it helps to produce melatonin sleep hormone which maintains organic sleep-wake cycle.
- Quite environment
I also sleep in a calm and serene environment. It helps me to be relaxed and have an awesome sleep.
- Comfy nightwears
After taking my night shower, I always wear a comfortable clothing. This makes me to be relaxed while sleeping.
- Comfortable bedding

I also sleep in an airy room, this helps to remove carbon dioxide and increase oxygen flow which is healthy for the body.
