What do you do you relax and unwind in the evening? Paint us a picture of your ideal relaxation *Sleeping*

Relaxation is the name of the game,
And each night the rules aren't the same.

How do I relax? I read, pray, meditate, yawn, or doze with my reading material in my hands. When I yawn or begin to doze, I take my glasses off, I put my eye drops in, sometimes I turn the bedside light out, and I put my feet up (to alleviate the swelling). Lately, I've been unable to sleep with the light off. I close my eyes, listen to the night noises, and eventually fall asleep.

Usually I sleep about a hour or so before the pain in my right knee wakes me up and I have to shift position in my recliner. I find a comfortable position and go back to sleep. I wake up again about 3:30 or 4:00 a.m., at this time I take my first medication of the day and go back to sleep. Sometimes I turn the light off or back on depending on whether it was off or on before I went to sleep.

I don't know why I haven't been able to sleep without a light, lately. Maybe it has something to do with the mice in the house. We put out sticky mouse/rat traps, and those work when the mice don't jump over them. The best type of sticky mouse traps are the black one because the mice can't see them. The mice will jump over the white sticky mouse traps.
