Approximately how many steps are there to your evening routine as you prepare for bed?

3 - Wash face, use toilet, and strip.

Three steps:

1.  Check to make sure that all windows and doors are locked.

2.  Use the toilet.

3.  Remove the sweatshirt and sweatpants that I am wearing.

Current schedule -

1 - Check litter boxes; clean if necessary.
2 - Complete door/window check
3 - check all appliances
4 - Make sure lower left blind on front window is down at least 14 inches (stupid neighbors!!)
5 - Turn on lantern by bed and turn off all lights
6 - Hand the house over to the guard cat  (who will then do an entire perimeter check and report back)
7 - get into bed
8 - Remove cat from bed and brush cat hair off pillow and bed
9 - Lay down in bed
-- It's at this point the "music" of the "potty song" fills the house (2 verses)
(sigh)
10 - get back up and reclean the litter box(es) (any "mises" will be dealt with in the morning)
11 - remove cat from bed
12 - brush cat hair off pillow and bed
13 - fluff out the blanket
14 - Tell the guard cat to stop eating his brothers food
15 - remove cat from blanket
16 - brush cat hair off blanket
17 - Lay down in bed
18 - Try to turn off the lantern only to find the light's actually coming from the morning sun.
(sigh)  Who needs sleep anyway?  (and there goes the "potty song")

Finish supper about 9 or 10 pm enter bedroom get naked, roll into bed, take melatonin pill, drowse off to sleep.

6 easy steps.

I do the hygiene stuff a few hours before I think I'll be going to bed.  When I get sleepy it hits me like a brick and I walk to the bed and lie down and am asleep in seconds. 

Around eight or so, I suppose. I clean up my room and get my bed ready first, put on the clothes or pajamas I want to wear to bed, I use the bathroom and brush my teeth, then I usually read for a bit, and finally get in bed, hook my phone up to the charger, and shut off the lights.

Six to the stairway, up 13 steps and four into the bedroom. That's 23, give or take.
