There is something different about successful women who put things into motion; the kind of women who have tasted success at the top & still know what it feels like to start from the bottom; and lastly the kind of women whose eyes carry a spark for doing innovative things and exploring the unchartered waters.

The successful women of this millennium have the audacity to start a revolution, to set new trends and to breathe in creativity and breathe out mediocrity. From Merly Streep, who is the epitome of success to Nita Amabani, who knows how to handle a ten-figure business, women have made their mark in all walks of life.

One thing that distinguishes these successful women is that they give equal importance to the way they end their days and this empowers them beyond limits. Here’s a round-up of routines in the nights of 8 most successful women of the millennium:

1. Arianna Huffington, Editor In Chief, AOL Huffington Post Media Group

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must have surely heard of the book “The Sleep Revolution”, penned by Huffington. In this book, Arianna talks about the importance of a good night’s rest and how it can revolutionize your entire life. The media mogul once remarked, “I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone. I had five stitches in my right eye. So I began the journey of re-discovering the value of sleep”.

Since then, Arianna ensures to keep her bedroom a screen-free area. No electronic device finds a place in her bedroom. Furthermore, her night regime is incomplete without some real reading and you can always find some books on her bedside table. This, according to Arianna, helps her de-clutter her thoughts and thus life.

Transcendental meditation is a technique wherein you detach yourself from stress and anxiety and indulge into self-realization through the act of meditation.

7. Kate White, Former Editor In Chief Of Cosmopolitan

Former Editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Kate’s night routine is all about work. Yes, we are describing the perfect type of workaholic here. But it seems that this is surely working for the lady here.

Super passionate about her work, Kate does all her work at night while standing up at a rolling butcher block counter in her kitchen. This is because Kate is aware that the moment she would sit, sleep would kick in and work would be jeopardized. She also keeps her kitchen TV on, so that it doesn’t get lonely. Besides, she resorts to espresso to keep her awake at night. Even though it’s not advisable to stay up all night, but dreams do come with price that’s totally worth it

8. Marissa Vosper, co-founder of Negative Underwear

Vosper and her husband’s night routine is incomplete without a cup of hot tea before hitting the sac. Furthermore, if sleep doesn’t kick in easily, Marissa switches to her old iPhone with only two apps in it, with the first one being a sleep timer app. This app helps her determine whether it’s time to wake up based on the REM cycle. And the second one is a crossword app, which she believes helps her take her mind off certain things. According to Marissa, this simple yet effective technique helps her relax and de-stress from a long day at work.

9. Cameron Diaz, Hollywood Actress

What really sets Diaz apart from everyone out there is her vibrant laughter & her confident stature. Out of all the things which define her success, Diaz makes sure to fill up a glass of water before going to sleep. This is because she is aware of the fact that all the breathing throughout the night takes up a lot of moisture out of her lungs and the body demands water for proper working. According to Diaz, it’s very important to re-hydrate once you are awake. Diaz claimed, ‘Once I drink the water, I feel it immediately. I go from being a wilted plant to one that has just been rejuvenated by the rain.’
