Try to make your bath as smoothing and relaxing as possible.
Use fragrant bath salts to lightly scent the water.
A fragrance like jasmine or lavender, which has calming properties, can really help to relax you.
If you don't like bubble baths, you may prefer to light an aromatherapy candle or use an aromatherapy scent diffuser to disperse the scent throughout the bathroom.
Just be sure to blow out all the candles before you go to bed.
Don't ever read in the bath tub if you're feeling sleepy.
I fact, don't even take a bath.
If you do fall asleep in the tub, you could slip under the water and drown.
Another problem is that when you're very sleepy, your coordination and reaction times are off, which increase the potential for a fall.
Sleepiness can be especially dangerous in the room like the bathroom with its slippery surfaces, hard porcelain fixtures and other cramped space.
Some people get in the mood to sleep by turning down their bed and laying out comfortable nightclothes.
This is also a good time to prepare your outfit for the next day so that you won't have to rush in the morning.
Start by fluffing up the pillows and maybe even spiriting a bit of favorite lavender or jasmine scent on your sheets.
Then out on your pajamas and get cozy.
To encourage sleep, choose comfortable, loose fitting garment made of woven or knitted natural fibers that breathe.
T-shirt or sleep shirts, pajamas, or nightgowns made of cotton, gauze, and silk.
Avoid fussy trims like feathers and beads, those are meant for show not sleeping.
An itty-bitty baby doll negligee may be just the thing for getting your husband in the mood, but you may not want sleep in it, not if you want to rest comfortably.
And finally, don't pick nightclothes that bind at the waist, wrist, neck, or shoulder.
You may be miserably uncomfortable if you do.
