At 9 p.m., I unplug my landline phone (but leave my cell phone turned on) to avoid those middle-of-the-night prank calls, turn off the big overhead ceiling light, turn on the smaller bedside lamp, and then take a shower. After showering, I check the alarm clock to be sure it's set for 6 a.m., then pick out a pair of shoes to wear for the following day and a pair of socks to go with them, and set them beside the bed. If it's going to be an important day the next day, I'll also pick out what clothes to wear. Then I watch a few minutes of "Full House" on television, and try to be asleep by 10 p.m.

I usually awaken in the morning shortly before the alarm clock goes off. It seems that I'm one of those people with some sort of internal alarm clock. I get up, plug the landline phone back in, get dressed, put on the socks and shoes I picked out the night before, and I am out the door at 6:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, seven days a week.

You have a good routine.
For me its watch tv till i am tired, generally 10 30 ive already showered and wash hair earlier in the evening so it has a chance to dry naturally, make sure alarm is set even tho i dont always have to get up as i am not working yet, some days i do voluntary at a charity shop, set my MP3 for the 30 mins sleep function, turn out the light and hopefully fall asleep!

I am real bad at getting up, the snooze button is my favorite feature! I will get up usually by 7 30 ish, out the door by 8 30 if its voluntary day.
hoping to hear about a job this week, that would give me a better routine!

Being at this retreat has me winding down at 9P with sleepy time at 10p. If I'm awake at 11+p, there's a problem.
