Oct. 14, 2009 - The Long Routine
The older I get, the longer it takes for me to get ready for bed. Here is what I do as of now at age 42:
1. take out contact lenses
2. scrub face
3. moisturize face
4. rinse with plaque remover
5. brush teeth
6. floss
7. put in oral splint (tmj)
8. sometimes apply progesterone cream
9. do ten minutes of stretching (also tmj related)
10. apply moist heat to neck and shoulders (t m j)
11. write in journal
12. pray
13. Lay out clothes for the next day. I know - it's weird but it helps me a lot when I get up in the morning.
I forgot to add that I also take vitamins every night.
There's no such thing as just falling into bed anymore!
