It is not incorrect. One knows what you mean. The others just sound more natural.

@BillBailey Ah, thank you. Can you look over these sentences and tell me which sounds natural and which doesn’t?
1. What’s your nightly routine?
2. What’s your nightly routine like?
3. How’s your nightly routine?
1. What’s your nightly routine?
2. What’s your nightly routine like?
3. How’s your nightly routine?

They all sound equally correct! They are nuances that depend on personal choice and maybe even region. You could also say: Tell me about your nightly routine.
The third one could imply 2 things: what does he do, and, how is it going right now.

The second one. Just a personal choice, not based on grammar.

@BillBailey Got it. Thank you! Would you think sentence 3 could cause some confusion?
3. How’s your nightly routine?
3. How’s your nightly routine?
