If flopping down on your soft, cushy bed is your most favorite part of the day, I’m sure you’ll absolutely love this article! I mean, who doesn’t love to sleep, right? Those few hours of absolute bliss when there’s nothing to disturb you except sweet dreams (which we have forgotten by the time we wake up, anyway) and those soft and cushy pillows to keep you company. Heaven!

But here’s the interesting part – there’s actually a very similar ritual that all girls go through before hitting the sack every night! We’ve tried to compile a comprehensive list of the things that every girl does before surrendering to the sleep gods. Take a look!

1. Sing In The Shower

Showering before going to bed is obviously something that most people do. But singing in the shower is something that only special girls like you do! I mean, what is the point of going to bed if you haven’t screamed your lungs out belting those favorite numbers, right? Oh, and hitting those high notes is absolutely necessary; for if you haven’t, you need to start right from the top, again.

2. Peel Away Makeup

Once the showering is done, you realize that all the sexykajal that you had on your eyes has now actually run, making you look like a low-budget version of Marilyn Mason. So, what’s the next step? Take that cotton ball out and wipe, wipe, wipe away to glory! Because, at the end of the day (pun intended), your skin has to be absolutely fresh like a daisy before you hit that fluffy pillow of yours.

3. Call Up Your Friends

To let them know that you are going to bed on time for once and that you will be the freshest face around when you see them in the morning, so they better watch out!

4. Notice Those Pimples

And absolutely freak out and decide that tonight is the night you must get rid of all of them, so you make another bad decision and decide to pop them. And the next morning, there is regret written all over your face, because – scars.

If only you had left them alone and actually gone off to sleep.

5. Attack Those Blackheads

If the pimples have been attacked, how can the blackheads be left behind, right? Right?

I guessed as much.

6. Try Some DIY Skin Solutions

Like applying loads and loads of toothpaste on your face because you remember vaguely reading somewhere that toothpaste is good for pimples and blackheads. But no one bothered to mention that it would all get stuck to your pillowcase, did they?

7. Admire Your Bedtime Hair

And rue over the fact that only when you are about to go to bed, your hair looks perfect. Not just perfect, but flawless. Flawlessly perfect. Ugh.

8. Spend 20 Minutes Deciding What To Wear

Because a diva like you can’t possibly fall asleep looking terrible. And also, comfort is a huge deciding factor, so you must try on all of those cute PJs that you have accumulated from your random shopping trips.

9. Get Hungry

After all, you’ve been doing so many things from the last time you ate and it is only natural that your body is craving for some chocolates. Okay, not some, but a lot of chocolates. It doesn’t matter. If you’ve eaten one, you’ve eaten them all.

10. Set An Alarm. Then One More. And One More.

Because waking up in the morning is a real challenge; one that requires the intervention of at least a million alarms. Yes, we are exaggerating a bit, but then you get the drift, right?

11. Decide To Be A Good Girl And Finally Sleep

But the phone beeps and you just have to see who has texted you (what if it’s that cute guy from office?) and since you have kept your phone a kilometer away from you because you were trying to be a good girl and go to sleep, now you have to get out of the covers and find your phone. Sigh! Life can be really tough sometimes!

12. Check Those Damn Alarms

Since you have the phone with you anyway, might as well check the alarms, because you do need to wake up on time, right?

13. Check Those Notifications

Now that you have your phone with you and you’ve checked your alarms anyway, might as well check the notifications as well. After all, what if someone has made an important comment on your latest profile picture and you want to reply to that comment?

14. Update Your Status

Because isn’t it always at night that the brain cells begin to function at their best? And since you have, like, the wittiest thought in your head, you absolutely must post it right now – like, right now – or else you might forget all about it. Or worse, somebody else might get the exact same thought and post it before you can!

15. Feel Bad Because No One’s Liked Your Status Yet

But then you figure that it’s probably because everyone’s asleep by now. That’s when you realize that you were going to call it a night pretty early on.

16. Fall Asleep. Finally!

But not before you find the perfectly comfortable position. Which takes like half an hour to achieve. And just when you have found that perfect position, your phone buzzes again. And you just have got to check your phone.
