This is a really good thing to add to your bedtime routine, especially if you are stressed out.

You can just do plain warm or hot water...  Or you can do "bath salts" (which are mostly just plain old epsom salts that you can buy at the market or drug store) and/or BUBBLES!  Yeah, even for you guys.  It takes a real man to be able to do a bubble bath.  But, it's amazingly soothing.

Be sure that things are quiet or have mellow music (new age or nature sounds).  DO NOT TALK ON THE PHONE DURING YOUR BATH!  This will cancel out the effects, so, if you're going to blab on the phone the whole time, don't even bother.  If things aren't quiet where you live, get some earplugs.

Just relax...  You can do nothing or you can read something non-stressful.  This isn't a good time to read textbooks!  Hey, you might slip into unconsciousness out of boredom and drown!  A nice magazine is more appropriate.

If it's nighttime, twenty minutes or so and then straight to bed.  Personally, I don't like to do baths when it's not bedtime because I'm just too vegged after to do anything useful.  But, if you've got some downtime in the middle of the day, a good bath is a nice way to start.

Baths are a great time for some aromatherapy too!
