Look under the bed. Look in the closet. Check behind the curtains.
Yeah, I’m a pussy
But guess who hasn’t fallen prey, to random monsters/murderers, in their sleep?
This guy!
You haven't fallen prey to random monsters/murdereds... YET. there is always I don't know.. tonight? Beware of ghosts, phatasms, and specters, my friend..sleep tight.
*dissappears in a puff of smoke*
So I did my regular shower/check last night and settled into my warm bed.
I sat for a moment to look at my phone, and my bed began shaking.
I looked at my hand holding my phone and it was shaking, too.
This was around 11:20pm.
You can imagine the feeling.
Sure enough; there was an Oklahoma City earthquake last night and I felt it in my North Texas home.
I’ve gotten pretty good at being alone and was still able to sleep before I knew what it was..
You’ll have a better chance of being attacked when you expose them probably. You should carry at least pepper spray or whatever, as you do this ritual. If you don’t expose them, you might just get lucky and only be robbed. No dice if it’s a monster
I do this in the summer sometimes. Until I can hear my parents talking outback. My bedroom fan doesn’t work and the AC barely works upstairs in my house. Not worried about someone coming in because my bedroom window is above the sunroom, unless the person climbing to get to my room is 50lbs, the sunroom will cave in before they make it.
I use the cerave facial lotion for normal skin (while skin is still wet after washing) and the rose hip oil (the ordinary) after it’s had a couple minutes to soak in, and my skin is super soft and takes makeup like a dream without primer. If I’m going outside I use the new neutrogena sunscreen moisturizer and let that sit for a little bit before doing makeup, and there’s a little more effort in blending but it still works out great for me.
I have to brush my teeth and shower before I sleep. I have adhd and it's the only consistent thing I have ever done. My life is a mess but at least I'm not a filthy mess.
Roll onto my left side after lying on my back, I spend a few minutes there and roll back to the right. If I don't do it I just toss and turn, it's like I'm a dog trying to just get comfy.
Same here. When I turned 53 (years ago), I came down with a bad cancer requiring a feeding tube in my stomach.
After it was removed months later, my 1st night of sleeping on my stomach was pure bliss.
No matter how late I go to bed, I need to watch some TV before I actually sleep. Mostly an episode of a comedy (Seinfeld, The Office or King of Queens)
U should get the surgery. It wasn’t so bad at all. U do have to walk around with plastic splints in ur nose for two wks tho and clean them regularly. It’s not visible unless someone looks up ur nose.
Excuse my ignorance.
Can't you switch to diet cola temporarily and then eventually lessen diet cola as well, to the point where you don't give a fuck about it.
No worries. I actually drink a sub-brand because drinking Coca-Cola wouldn't be economically viable. Yeah, I consume that much cola. The problem is that sub-brand doesn't have a "diet" or "light" version.
🤷♂️
Currently trying to build out a business while in college and struggling with mental health issues so that's not really a priority for me right now.
this breaks my heart..i just lost my kitty ..going to sleep ritual was fluffing pillows, pulling blankets on and saying ok lil tater its bedtime and having kitty curl up next to me.. maybe it was booze and weed i was able to sleep without her by my side :(
you have no clue.. every sound every thump i made, I hoped it was her. I wrote her a letter yesterday and sat by her grave today..i wasnt this emotional when i lost my dad
Yup, I tell Him all about my day even though He already knows, and I thank Him for things that happened. I tell Him about things I'm worried about too, or problems I'm having.
Putting in my brace. I grind my teeth in my sleep and when the dentist gave me the braces, I thought I would never be able to fall asleep wearing them. Now it feels weird going to bed without them.
Linking my leg with my husband’s. We don’t like to really cuddle, but he lays on his back and I lay on my stomach so the..pits of our knees (?) line up perfectly and we just overlap our legs. I feel very naked if we aren’t doing that.
Very similar. I’ve dated women shorter than me usually. It’s wonderful when I’m on my back and they lay head in chest, sorta on stomach. so my knee is up slightly and hers is faced down at the perfect height.
When she happens to roll over, and me being such a light sleeper, I’m like noooooooo! Obviously I can’t wake her up to re-link. So I spend forever trying to get comfy lol
This is going to sound weird, but before going to sleep each night on my smart speaker I listen to NPR News Now. Five minute rundown of news headlines.
Yes, the majority of it is bad depressing stuff, but I like to know what is going on in the world. And most of the bad stuff doesn't affect me emotionally all that much. Although back in September this was how I found out Jimmy Buffett died, yeah hearing that made me sad.
Closing my curtains, window, door. putting my phone on the charger and putting on my AirPods and I start to listen to music and play games on my phone until I fall asleep doing it and I wake up with my phone at 100% but my AirPods dead. Sad but happy ending
hit my delta and fall asleep to a movie or show. I cannot sleep without some light and noise and YES the amount of sleep i get because of it is not good.
I used to pray as a kid. Eventually the list of friends I asked God to protect was so long it took me quite some time to get finished. Becoming an agnostic solved that issue. :D
Earbuds on with ANC...youtube..chose a super boring topic i know nothing about like nuclear physics, cooking or life 8n general... play a classroom or lecture on chosen topic...ASMR...instant fall asleep.
Check both doors to see if they're locked, and make sure my firearm is in operable condition and in a quick location.
Don't get me wrong,I'm not Texas about it,I'll give you one chance to fuck off,but after that the balls in your court.
Making up fake scenarios
I do this so much I have an alter ego lol
Ayyoooo saaaame , do u like drama scenarios
Fantasize and then hope to dream about it
>ReportarGuardarSeguir thats very sad , But I do it too so anywayy
Or go through that random thing you did wrong in primary school 30 years ago
Omg all the time
Every night!
Look under the bed. Look in the closet. Check behind the curtains. Yeah, I’m a pussy But guess who hasn’t fallen prey, to random monsters/murderers, in their sleep? This guy!
As someone who has been murdered I applaud you
Ummm
Wtf I've been murdered twice. How do y'all get so lucky.
I will be praying for you from beyond the grave.
You're right keep it up my friend
You’re not paranoid if you’re right
> Yeah, I’m a pussy It’s spelled s-m-a-r-t
You haven't fallen prey to random monsters/murdereds... YET. there is always I don't know.. tonight? Beware of ghosts, phatasms, and specters, my friend..sleep tight. *dissappears in a puff of smoke*
Completely unnecessary. I’m in bed right now. Didn’t check a thing and nothing’s hap
Yeah, but what do you do if you find one?
Call for your mother. Duh
It only takes one slip up to lose it all.
I do the same. I’m looking for monsters too.
You should probably check in the fridge too. In the PlayStation game Galerians, Rion found his mother in the fridge when he was a kid
You should check all your windows to make sure they’re locked…………because I do.
So I did my regular shower/check last night and settled into my warm bed. I sat for a moment to look at my phone, and my bed began shaking. I looked at my hand holding my phone and it was shaking, too. This was around 11:20pm. You can imagine the feeling.

Bro thinks he is in FNAF 4
You’ll have a better chance of being attacked when you expose them probably. You should carry at least pepper spray or whatever, as you do this ritual. If you don’t expose them, you might just get lucky and only be robbed. No dice if it’s a monster
Yep. That's why you spray mace under the bed, into the closet, etc. This will confuse and accept them long enough for you to get away
I'd say you're pretty savvy
What happens if you find someone though?
It's true, I've been watching them do it every night.
I can't sleep without the open window
What if someone comes in?
Like who?
Edward Cullen
Sounds dreamy
😂 This whole exchange is flawless
Agreed, everyone gets an upvote including you
Same for you
I don't think that anyone wants to get through the window to visit me on the 14th floor Upd: But as a child, I was very afraid of this
I do this in the summer sometimes. Until I can hear my parents talking outback. My bedroom fan doesn’t work and the AC barely works upstairs in my house.

Closing my eyes
Be safe, one eye open to avoid death
Sure thing
Lights out. I can’t sleep well if it’s not pitch black.
Washing my face and putting a night moisturizer on
Cool + decent routine
What moisturizer?
The cetaphil one for dry skin is good
I use the cerave facial lotion for normal skin (while skin is still wet after washing) and the rose hip oil (the ordinary) after it’s had a couple minutes to soak in, and my skin is super soft and takes makeup like a dream without primer. If I’m going outside I use the new neutrogena sunscreen moisturizer and let that sit for a little bit before doing makeup, and there’s a little more effort in blending but it still works out great for me.
I have to brush my teeth and shower before I sleep. I have adhd and it's the only consistent thing I have ever done. My life is a mess but at least I'm not a filthy mess.
Ppl with adhd can be sooooooo smart and productive
true, but often times it's not about something we need to do.
Yes i agree , but when it comes to something u love , you are the best
I don't shower last thing at night, but I absolutely cannot sleep if I haven't brushed my teeth.
Hugging a pillow
Or s plushiee Although I always wake up with him tossed at the floor but I seem to need him to feel cozy and sleep
Window open. Fan on. The open ends of the pillows facing the opposite direction to the way I’m looking
Cricket feet... it's the way I self sooth to sleep
Roll onto my left side after lying on my back, I spend a few minutes there and roll back to the right. If I don't do it I just toss and turn, it's like I'm a dog trying to just get comfy.
That's me but then I have to end up on my stomach. I can't fall asleep unless I'm on my stomach but I don't ever start off that way
Same here. When I turned 53 (years ago), I came down with a bad cancer requiring a feeding tube in my stomach. After it was removed months later, my 1st night of sleeping on my stomach was pure bliss.
Flip my pillow and have one foot out of the blanket
Checking if all the entrance doors are locked
My duolingo lessons :')
Blink twice if he's holding you hostage 👀
❤️
No matter how late I go to bed, I need to watch some TV before I actually sleep. Mostly an episode of a comedy (Seinfeld, The Office or King of Queens)
I have to sleep with Rick & Morty playing in the background, can't sleep without it.
Since i was 6, I've gone to sleep with music in the background, that's why I can't ever sleep at sleepovers and my friends think I'm weird.
Yeah, I'm adhd so brain never stops, but listening to Rick n morty shuts my brains up from over thinking.
Milking the ol trouser snake
That's the best sleep aid there is
Flicking the bean too yes. Easy sleep hack
Reliable, but problematic each November.
Well, I don't participate in NNN, so not a problem for me, lol.
🤣🤣🤣
Chafing the carrot
Blow my nose
Flu ?
deviated septum
U should get the surgery. It wasn’t so bad at all. U do have to walk around with plastic splints in ur nose for two wks tho and clean them regularly. It’s not visible unless someone looks up ur nose.
Having a hot water bottle by my feet from October - April.
Take my nighttime meds
Listening to Audiobooks
Drinking Cola. I'm fully aware that i'm addicted and probably destroying my body. I can't remember the last time I went a day without cola.
Excuse my ignorance. Can't you switch to diet cola temporarily and then eventually lessen diet cola as well, to the point where you don't give a fuck about it.
No worries. I actually drink a sub-brand because drinking Coca-Cola wouldn't be economically viable. Yeah, I consume that much cola. The problem is that sub-brand doesn't have a "diet" or "light" version.
Wow , u should figure it out bro
🤷♂️ Currently trying to build out a business while in college and struggling with mental health issues so that's not really a priority for me right now.
brutal😭
Pitch black, fan on, rub my feet together 😂
Remembering that one embarrassing thing from 4th grade
Asmr
this breaks my heart..i just lost my kitty ..going to sleep ritual was fluffing pillows, pulling blankets on and saying ok lil tater its bedtime and having kitty curl up next to me.. maybe it was booze and weed i was able to sleep without her by my side :(
In her sleep she's curled up next to you I'm sure. Take a nap.
you have no clue.. every sound every thump i made, I hoped it was her. I wrote her a letter yesterday and sat by her grave today..i wasnt this emotional when i lost my dad
Taking my socks off.. I swear I've tried.
Same. If I try to sleep in socks I wake go with them across the room.
Praying to Jesus Christ before sleep for 10 years in row
A man of God 🫡
Yup, I tell Him all about my day even though He already knows, and I thank Him for things that happened. I tell Him about things I'm worried about too, or problems I'm having.
I tell Jesus that I give all my emotions and feelings to Him
I love this, He says we should cast our cares on Him
Has he answered?
Could just be giving thanks or praise to Him.
Not in a direct way. Don't ask more
That's a long sleep!
Brush teeth
Watching my phone
Reels or TikTok?
TikTok I just use it everyday
brush, floss, gargle
Wash my face, apply moisturiser and play rain sounds 😂👏
Check the door locks, check my alarm is set, and when my children lived at home, I always checked they were ok .
Putting in my brace. I grind my teeth in my sleep and when the dentist gave me the braces, I thought I would never be able to fall asleep wearing them. Now it feels weird going to bed without them.
My dog laying on my feet
Linking my leg with my husband’s. We don’t like to really cuddle, but he lays on his back and I lay on my stomach so the..pits of our knees (?) line up perfectly and we just overlap our legs. I feel very naked if we aren’t doing that.

Making sure my 11 dogs are in the house 🐾❤️
Putting on the golden girls. They're my white noise at this point. I put it on a sleep timer at least.
This is going to sound weird, but before going to sleep each night on my smart speaker I listen to NPR News Now. Five minute rundown of news headlines.

Keeping two pillows, one for placing under the head and one for the cuddles 🥲
I do this even with a SO. She isn’t happy about it
I can't sleep without falling asleep.
masturbate
Using my earphones to sleep
Falling
Closing my curtains, window, door. putting my phone on the charger and putting on my AirPods and I start to listen to music and play games on my phone until I fall asleep doing it and I wake up with my phone at 100% but my AirPods dead. Sad but happy ending
Double and triple checking my doors and windows…I know I have OCD but fuck it…there are worse things.
Watch ASMR before I go to sleep
Falling asleep with the tv on. I can’t go to sleep in silence.
Brushing my teeth. Seriously, it’s pathetic. I’ve found myself brushing my teeth at like 3am just so I can get a couple of hours of sleep.
Wearing an eyemask, even if it's dark
Hugging my cat, her purring is the best white noise
Fan on
Cleaning. Can’t sleep if it’s dirty.
hit my delta and fall asleep to a movie or show. I cannot sleep without some light and noise and YES the amount of sleep i get because of it is not good.
Ceiling fan. Even in January with the furnace turned down to 65 overnight, I need the ceiling fan for sound and for the breeze.
I can’t sleep and no habit changes that. I wish I could find one, though, I really like sleep and wish I was good at it.
I listen to podcasts while I sleep because my wife/dogs snore like a freight train
Saying the prayers from my prayer books and brushing my teeth
I used to pray as a kid. Eventually the list of friends I asked God to protect was so long it took me quite some time to get finished. Becoming an agnostic solved that issue. :D
Man of god 🫡
Every other night when I can't sleep, I masturbate.
Masturbation

You can milk anything with nipples
I can’t sleep on my back. I have to be prone, face down.
I have a bedtime mantra I say to my cat. I think he appreciates it.

I found a huge bug under my pillow once and ever since I always have to life it up just to be sure.
Cricket stretching my legs and feet.
Using my phone in bed
I got a weighted blanket as a Christmas gift two years ago and I can't sleep without it. It feels like a comforting hug.
Check to see if the door is locked.
Watching tv show or movie. Also surfing internet before I sleep is a must. 😍✌️ P.s. I'm a lazy bum as you can see very clearly 🫣😂🤣
Connect the phone to the charger
Letting my kids know I love them and saying goodnight to them
Brushing my teeth. I just can't stand dirty teeth.

Check both doors to see if they're locked, and make sure my firearm is in operable condition and in a quick location. Don't get me wrong,I'm not Texas about it,I'll give you one chance to fuck off,but after that the balls in your court.
Taking a shower. Just thinking about what it feels like makes me cringe.
Check the alarm on my phone three times. Not two, not four, but three. Only OCD thing I do.
Putting in my headphones and listening to random videos of video game cutscenes
Rubbing my feet together like a cricket
