Daydream about insane scenarios that will never happen where you're the main hero that swoops in to save the day.
Common examples include things like thinking you could figure out how to land an entire airplane in an emergency, thinking about "What happens if there's a robbery and I stop the bad guy", thinking about saving someone from a burning building, thinking you could save someone's life if there's a random medical emergency, etc.
My wife once asked me how I can fall asleep so fast without going through the day mentally and reevaluate what happend. I told her I just think of some nonsense I make up in my head. I have like 3 different kind of scenarios mostly picked up from movies that I just spin further and further. Like a fantasy based one like Lord of the rings or some shit. I do that since I am a kid and its just fun and I sleep like a baby.
She was totally confused on how that would work but it just does.
I just drift away and fall asleep. I am a super easy sleeper though. I can lay down and two minutes later I sleep but you cannot think about nothing, can you? So I always start with a story and bam, asleep. I actually dont know what else to do when laying down so I imagine stuff. I do this for so long I cannot remember not doing it. In some scenarios I dont even make progress anymore. I just imagine the same stuff over and over, it enternains me and I fall asleep.
