What is your bedtime routine?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:To keep your skin looking young, avoid too much sun exposure (you need some), wear sunscreen and drink lots of water. Your skin will thank you. For a good night’s rest I try not to drink caffeine after lunch. I do occasionally, but I try to keep it to a minimum. Otherwise, I’m up and down going to the loo. Make sure you have sufficient bedding but not too much. So you don’t overheat but you’re not cold. Don’t do anything too mentally stimulating too close to bed. If you have problems sleeping, try a warm bath, warm milk or those types of things to get your body and mind into the bedtime mood.
