Default How do you get to sleep?

Well? Do you have those nights when you get into bed all nice and cozy, and maybe you watch TV for a while then you roll over and close your eyes and after about 10 minutes realise you're not sleeping? Or do you only need your head to touch the pillow before you doze off into deep coma-like sleep?

I always read for a bit then fall into a deep, seamless, coma-like sleep. Nothing wakes me... I think I could sleep through an earthquake

I was browsing the internet from midnight yesterday and planned to go to sleep at 2 but ended up finally dozing off at 5.30.

idk it's so difficult to get to sleep when the light comes through your curtains and the birds start chirping

The moment my head hits the pillow I am asleep really quickly. Usually I don't wake at all for at least 6 hours after that.

I read before I fall asleep, unless I'm too tired to concentrate on the book.

When i'm having trouble sleeping, i've found that thinking about cartoons usually works.

I close my eyes and snuggle myself into a really comfortable position and start thinking about a cartoon, like the smurfs, or alvin and the chipmunks or something cute and colorful like that, and then i try to make up a story for the characters, and then usually i just fall asleep as the story is going on.

It sounds crazy, but it almost always works.
