Something I was thinking about since it's almost time for me to hit the hay.
I recently fell into the habit of washing my face, which is rather a refreshing practice right before going to sleep. I'll usually wash my face, get a glass of water and lie in bed watching a television show until I fall asleep. Other nights are a little more hectic making everything a little tedious - those nights where all you want to do is dive under your covers, get all warm and cozy and drift away to dreamland.

What are your nightly rituals? Is it a big deal if you forget them, or are unable to them? Which do you think might be a good idea to put into practice, and/or which might be good to get rid of? Do you have any unusual rituals that you think only you do?

I typically just go online until my eyes hurt from staring at the screen. Nothing special, but it's kind of relaxing in a way.
If there is no computer, I'll just stare at the ceiling until morning breaks. Insomnia! :D

I usually go on the computer until the late night hours (1 - 2 AM) and then turn off all the lights and go to bed. If I can't sleep I play on my guitar (sans amp, of course) or listen to music on my Zune.

it's hard to have real nightly rituals with an inconsistent roommate like mine, but yeah, washing my face is one of them. then i get in bed and try not to think of anything until boredom takes me :P

Lately my nightly ritual tends to involve watching TV until I start to dose off, then I go upstairs, brush my teeth and then go to my room and come online or read for a while until I get bored and go to sleep. :P

I'm neurotic I think. XD I take a shower, grab a cup of tea and watch a movie or TV show via my computer before getting to bed.

I either read until I am too tired to keep my eyes open, or I play on my iTouch games until I can't keep my eyes open.

Leave my laptop, go downstairs for a cup of tea and a cigarette, brush my teeth and go to bed.

I usually brush my teeth and wash my face.

Then I get into bed with my laptop and mp3 player, occasionally my DS Lite or a book instead.

I drag myself upstairs just before passing out from exhaustion. I've gotten the timing down to a science. :P

I'm usually on my desktop till I feel like I should sleep, if it's around 3am I'll watch a movie or a disc of a tv series with my laptop in bed

That one guy
At school, I try to find something to wind down my brain even if it is late by the time I'm done with my work. That is usually a book or watching something for a few minutes on TV. At home I rarely keep any sort of routine, so nightly rituals are nonexistent.

I have a really hard time falling asleep, so I usually just go to bed within a reasonable time and stick with it for the week so say 11 PM, but it can take me up to 3 hours to fall asleep or not sleep even, and all I try to do is just sleep (if I can.) Other then the hell of trying to get to sleeping, nothing much.
