What do you do before you fall asleep in bed? Do you have a night cap? Masturbate? Read a book? Listen to music? What helps to send you to sleep?

i lie down

Reading

And I usually imagine somebody by my side

Listen to music usually. Often times it has the opposite effect and I end up awake way too late.

B.

I put on my eye mask thing cuz supposedly I dont shut my eyes all the way when im sleeping which is irratating them super badly But its working so

For a few years now I've listened to Audiobooks on my ipod.

I'm trying to give that up for a while in favor of listening to my thoughts. I'm trying to not constantly bombard my senses with incoming stimulation, but to allow my thoughts to be recognized.

I'm trying to make my own story in my head.

I close my eyes.

There's some real smart asses on this this thread.

I don't listen to music or anything. Your mind begins to associate music with sleep, or hearing an audiobook with sleep. Then when you really want to just listen to music, your mind says "Oh, time to sleep!" It's why I hate TVs and computers in the bedroom. The bedroom has to be physically, and mentally, associated with sleeping and solace.

I keep a fan going because I don't like it too quiet. I like the lull of something. I often run the dishwasher when I go to bed so I can hear the hum of it while I fall asleep. But no music or TV.

Good routine! I try to look through my closed eyes to take my focus away from hearing distracting noises.

I am total opposite! I cant stand ANY noise whatsoever! If I even hear a tv from another room turned down so low its barely a murmur I go CRAZY!

Close my eyes

I sacrifice a goat or small rodent to the night gods.

Or a hot milky drink.

I prefer a small hot rodent

Oh I hate hearing a thump of a stereo or a TV from another room. Absolutely annoys me. The fan is a constant sound, not rhythmic like a drum beat.

That's okay though. After I rock your world, you'll be tired and ready for sleep.
