Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Everything they said, with the addition that falling asleep fast is a skill that takes practice to get good at. Even if you don’t fall asleep, laying down for 15 minutes can still be good for you. It allows your body to relax.
As for your mind, I’ve found that letting it wander and not trying to control it helps me get to sleep faster. Even if I’m thinking about things that stress me, if I let my mind go on its own, eventually it’ll go off the path and start thinking dreamy things. Next thing I know, I’m waking up.
No matter what works for others, it still takes practice.
