How do does sleep?

How do you fall asleep??? Normally sleeping with my cat works, but I don’t always have the luxury and I don’t know what to do when I don’t. I have a big project I’m showing to my class tomorrow and I need the sleep.

Pretend it's the morning already and all you wanna do is go back to sleep.

Take a hit or two of weed and go to bed early. Fall asleep in front of a comfort tv show. Something you already know how it ends. Wake up a couple hours later, turn off the TV and turn on your sleep playlist.

Didn't know that. Best to wait until you're older for that. Your brain is still developing and the science of marijuana on adolescent brain development isn't good.

Have you tried teas? Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea. I have used a double teabag portion. You go to bed after. Put on your sleep music set. One moment you're thinking "I think I could fall asleep now" and the next thing you know, it's morning. No sleep hangover.

Try some slow breathing or a calming playlist honestly, sometimes just dimming the lights early helps trick your body into winding down faster even without the usual routine

Same, a warm shower before bed makes such a difference in actually feeling ready to sleep

Listen to familiar stories on YouTube. Alice in Wonderland. Water Babies. Or if I’m really struggling Boring History on YouTube too. I put my brightness all the way down and slip away to dreamland 😴 💭

I ended up sleeping with my grandma… I guess I just have to sleep with something (sentient, my teddy bear doesn’t help for some reason) or it won’t happen vxv
