(PS/my unsolicited advice is to put the ex-s in the rearview if possible)

Do NOT take a shower before bed. At least for me, showers are morning things, I can't lay down and sleep afterward, I have to get dressed and DO something, anything. If I try to go to bed after taking a shower all I do is toss and turn and stare at the dark ceiling, sleep is not gonna happen.

If I'm stinky, sticky or sweaty, a damp wash cloth with soap or some rubbing alcohol fixes that so that I can still sleep. I brush my teeth before bed, and if I wake up in the middle of the night with "xactly mouth" I'll brush again.

I don't understand how folks wash their hair every day. The most often I've ever been able to is every other day. If I wash it every day it gets brittle and frizzy. It's better if I leave it 3 or 4 days, and my hair is less gray when I wash my hair less frequently.

Fun to know how different we all are. Anyway, for me--and maybe only for me-- it is good not to eat nighttime snacks.

YEA, I have nightmares when I eat the wrong thing before bed. I've been trying not to eat anything at all after midnight, that seems to help.

Can vouch for having caffeine too late in the evening. Here I am now awake and should be asleep....ugh
