My Red Hen

Today's challenge.

It's the night before an important event: a big exam, a major presentation, your wedding. How do you calm your nerves in preparation for the big day?

I'm really having to think about this one.
Preparation is a big part of it. I feel much better if I get all my prep done and know I'm ready. Nothing left undone and everything ready to grab and head out the door. Then if it's not time for bed, curl up and watch some TV. I'm afraid that's the escape from problems for me. It's how I get out of my head. Just focus on something else. Anything else. You can't believe some of the things I will watch at those times. Example---Hoarders. Wow. Have you ever watched that? Wow. That's all I can say.
Need to feel better about your mess. Tune in.

I remember when I studied in school, the last thing I did before going to sleep was go over the material I was trying to cement in my brain. I thought that was a trick to remembering. Is that a thing? I really don't know if it is, or if it was just some corny idea I had in my head.

Maybe it's the last thing I read before falling asleep one night.
