Day 2 - What's Your Bedtime Reading Ritual
I’m not sure I have a ritual. Well, I do all the normal girly things and put on my PJs. I usually go to bed around 10:00 and get up
for work and get the kids ready for school (thank God for summer!) between
4:30-5:00, so I always feel sleep deprived (that’s probably a topic for another
day :). I also have issues with falling asleep, thus going to bed feels like a
gamble to me; is today the day I will fall asleep in 10 minutes or in two
hours?
I’m the type of person that can read more than one book at a
time, so there is always a book on my nightstand (right now it’s The Crown of Midnight by Sarah Maas). Do I always read in bed? No. Life and TV shows interfere with that
sometimes. When I do read, I have to make
myself stop. I don’t always win that fight, for instance, I went to
sleep after midnight on Sunday because I was reading Wait for You by J. Lynn and I couldn’t put it down.
I have to say that on the weekends that hubby works, I read
until really late. It’s a combination of
two things, I have the room and bed all to myself, and this means I can leave
the light on for as long as I want, AND it’s the weekend and I don’t have to
wake up early.
Your time to share: What is your bedtime reading ritual?
The weekends are great. If the hubby isn't working I can stay up late as I want reading. He'll let me sleep in and get up with the kids. :D
ReplyDeleteWeekends are definitely an opportunity to read longer than you might be able to on the weekdays. :)

I love what you said about having the bed to yourself and the light stays on as long as you like. AMEN! Those are my fave times for night time reading. I got a special night light just so I can read in bed but now hubby always says its too bright and didn't he get me the tablet and e readers so I can play and read at night. I explain not ALL of my books are on a device so I need the light.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a tad bright so I am looking into better lamps.
Cant wait to see what your other posts are about! :)
Scandalous Bedtime Reading Rituals
I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep as well. Reading helps but not always, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI bet it feels great to not have to wake up at 4:30-5 (EEK!) on the weekends and get to stay up later reading :)
