Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I do a combination of things really based upon my experiences as a parent. Just as with our son, I have kind of a pre-sleep ritual. A hot bath, doing all the hygiene stuff, and then I read some short stories (they are stand alone, can be read in under 30 minutes so you don't tend to stay up late to finish.) I had read that a hot bath will lower your blood pressure and I find after having the bath and doing the other things that I'm in a very relaxed " sleep ready state " . I follow the same ritual every night. What I found with our child was that he slept soundly and without protest if we followed the same ritual every night. I figured if it worked for him, it would work for me. And, it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
