Hey, Lindsay, how are you? Great, Michelle. How's it going? How's everything?
Everything is good over here. Lindsay, what do you do when you are settling in for the night at home and you want to feel comfortable? Is there any like ritual you have?
How do comfort and clothing play a role in settling in?
Do you get into some sort of special clothes or what?
Of course. Absolutely. When I come home, it's the best part of the day. Yeah. If I've been out or something. And in the winter, I'll put on pajama pants, nice fleece pajama pants. Yeah. A pair of slippers, have some dinner, watch some TV. And in the winter, probably just like, you know, like shorts or very comfortable. I think the key is comfortable clothes for me are part of settling in. What about you, Michelle? What's your routine?
Yes. For me, it's about the fuzzy socks. A shower. I mean, you know, there's the... You know, some nights when I get home, it was funny the other night we somehow my whole family was upstairs at like 630 not sleeping, but then I did a Peloton and like, you know, but we were all kind of like, it's like the going the ritual of like, okay, now we're going upstairs.
What is the difference between 'settle in' and 'settle down'?
It feels like the night is separated. But for me to truly feel like, okay, it's the fuzzy socks, my pajamas, a shower, because I'm a night shower, and just getting all my night tasks out of the way, like the brushing of the teeth. I see. Lindsay, do you ever feel like you put off going to sleep because you don't feel like getting up to brush your teeth and you have to convince yourself to do it?
Sometimes. I don't let it go too far like that because I love my sleep as much as I can get. I try to get. But occasionally I'll have the thought. Like if I'm watching TV and a commercial comes out, like, oh, I should really go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. I'll wait for the next one. you know, that kind of thing.
Yes. I feel like that's like the hardest task for me to convince myself to get up and do. And it's like, if I just do it, then I can just move on with my life. I know. So anyway, but today we are going to answer a great question from Sophia, who we love. We love you, Sophia, and your questions are always amazing. Sophia is asking this question on YouTube.
