I don't have one.  Have had insomnia since a kid.  This year though, I adopted a little "special needs" kitty that was going to be euthanized for her many health issues which were requiring more time, patience & money than her owner had.  This kitty has been doing better with me, so much so that.....she started DEMANDING that ALL light be off in the house at 930 p.m. .......and then she DEMANDS that I get up at 4:30 a.m.

So what the little diva DEMANDS...she gets.    :heart:   :)

I don't exercise before I sleep but I do turn on a fan or one of those background noise machines that make the same soft sound all night. The sound of a fan or one of those machines gets me to sleep and keeps me asleep too.

I have to read for 15 or 30 minutes before I can drift off to sleep. Have done this since I was a child!

I usually read or watch tv until I fall asleep.

I don't have a routine I just sleep when I need it or just knock out anywhere that feels comfy.

I've never had an issue falling to sleep so my routine isn't set to help me fall asleep, but more so just out of habit. Typically I'll lay down and watch an episode of something on netflix before I fall asleep though.

I try to not eat anything heavy after 6:00 PM, 7:00 dinner after that time does not tend to sit well with me, I prefer my food to be well digested before going to sleep; so dinner is more on the early side for me.

The white noise of a radio on while I'm in bed.

After a nice long walk (2 or 3 miles) I wind down by taking a shower, meditate, turn Alexa on and she is playing Thunderstorm sounds. And I am OUT for the count! lol
