My evening really begins when I take a long, hot bath. I light a candle, and I turn on the news and try to catch up. It's when I can breathe from the day to the night, and that means a lot to me.
Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season's end is approaching, and we're all pretty physically tired.
If there's one thing that precedes my sleep, it's my work.
Maybe once in a while, you know, after a hard day of shooting or something like that, I'd kick back.
My weekends start at about 4 P.M. on Friday afternoon, when I let go of work and leave my colleagues to crawl through the rest of the day in our New York offices.
I try to be in bed by 11. Sometimes I watch a 'West Wing' rerun. That relaxes me.
I've never enjoyed sleep as much until I got the 'Today' job. There is something about early sleep that's much better than late sleep. I feel myself going to sleep; I don't just plonk my head on the pillow. It's a sort of winding-down thing.
I have the same wind-down routine when I go to bed, whether I'm shooting or not. It's nothing too special - maybe some TV, maybe a book.
After filming I like to go home and lie down with my daughter and have a glass of wine so I don't really socialize with the other actors.
Before bed, I read a book or flip on the radio - I'm not picky, I'll just turn it on and see what comes up. I burn a yummy lavender- scented candle.
I'm usually in jammies and slippers by 8 P.M.
I usually go home and go to sleep; that's what I do for fun.
The moment I am off the field, it's my personal time.
While I could still play in the Premier League, I really did not want to go abroad. I was not thinking about winding down my career.
What happens is we finish the show, have a couple of drinks, go back to the hotel, talk, and that's it.
I go home and take all of my make-up off. Then I sit in my pants or a tracksuit and watch 'Birds Of A Feather.' That's most nights of my life.
About 1960, it became clear that it was best for me to bring the experimental part of my research program to a close - there was too much to do on the theoretical aspects - and I began the process of winding down the experiments.
Chefs don't eat at normal hours, so the only time you feel like you really need a meal is after service, when you're exhausted and just crave something to help you wind down.
I've started to really nurture a bedtime routine, which, for me, starts with caffeine-free tea, usually rooibos or jasmine tea, something soothing, very fragrant, just a reminder to get back to your senses.
The world is a clock winding down.
During the season, most of my time to unwind is in my car ride home. When I get home, it's being with my kids.
I always try to read at night, because it gets me kind of tired.
'SpongeBob' is a cartoon I love. Especially when I'm in bed by myself at home and I have trouble sleeping, my reflex is to put cartoons on.
My ideal evening is to have dinner with one person or a few persons, and then be in bed by 11.
