What helps you go to sleep?

[Valormos 262]

I just put some music on and lay there think about something like art or ponies

then when my eyes start to get dry and tired then I close my eyes and pass out

and i know when Im about to fall a sleep cause when close my eyes start to hurt quiet a bit then I fall a sleep is this normal

[Vinyl Scratch. 604]

Uhh...Oh what the f*ck I'll have to admit it sooner or later

I can't sleep with out my arms wrapped around one if my pillows imagining its a certain pony who won't be named *cough* Rainbow Dash *cough* because I'm weird like that...

[DokiLoki 518]

Probably staying up until about 01:45 AM on the computer, reading a book, or basically closing my eyes and absolutely do nothing but lay there and breathe- makes me fall asleep.

[a Pegasus Pony 134]

Cookies and warm milk. For me that is a definite "I'm going to knock out" thing for me but only when I stay up late like I am now. So interesting right?

[Venomshank 120]

Thunderstorms. also muffins. There's just something about them.  think it's 'cause they taste... "Homey". As for the thunderstorms, no explanation as of yet.

I have never listened to this before bed, but maybe, I heard other people like it for sleep? ▶ PinkiePieSwear - Hush Now Quiet Now (Lucid Dream Mix) - YouTube

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I've been reading almost every night before I go to bed now for a while and feel like I have a better nights sleep (even if I don't sleep as long) when I ease into it rather than going straight from gaming or watching Anime or Youtube etc. Although if I'm honest, I'm not sure reading the "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a good series to read before bed seeing as though you can't put the books down it's so damn good. On more than one occasion I've fallen asleep and woken up in the exact same position, sitting upright with the book in both hands haha.

[Jack Spades 162]

I have trouble falling asleep on a usual basis. But what really helps is when I fall asleep while hugging a pillow while listening to It's raining men.

[Exile Phoenix 20]

That is a very interesting topic to talk about

but sadly i don't have a routine  to help sleep

i don't sleep at all......well passing out is kind of like sleep

so i guess i do have one

My routine to sleeping is stay up till my body and brain shuts off

that is a great way to sleep is it not?

[Moonlight 7,279]

I have to listen to several songs before I can even sleep. And oddly enough, it's all Alternative Rock songs. It's my favorite genre and it gets me ready for bed...a plus-plus. Also, I sleep on a box-spring, mattress and around 11 blankets so I'm pretty comfortable. And I HAVE to have some type of noise to sleep to, I usually have my box fan on. And from time to time, I need to sleep in a Derpy Hooves jacket because it's ridiculously comfortable. It usually takes me 1 hour to sleep...it took me 6 hours to fall asleep one night, before. 

Also, I have a bit of a fear of the dark so I need some light.  And doing schoolwork makes me sleepy after a while so it helps me sleep. Oh, and I can't fall asleep early that often...nowadays, I fall asleep at around 7-10 a.m. I function best on 3-6 hours of sleep. I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep anyway, though. Also, sleep is A+ comfort for me...it's just so relaxing.

 

It's all so complicated anymore. Damn, mine is so long compared to everyone else's...I think I ranted a bit.

I sometimes have real trouble switching off sometimes, and my anxiety just makes this harder still if that kicks in.

 

I use one of those sleep mask things in combination with white noise music on my ipod. sometimes i can sleep without these and sometimes i can't sleep with them, especially if its a warm night.

 

I envy those who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. >_<

[Cakebandit :3 1,064]

The only way I'm ever able to go to sleep is to listen to music all night it makes me an extremely heavy sleeper (I slept through a fire alarm before ) the downside is if the music goes away ill wake up to the slightest noise ever.the only other way I'm able to sleep is to stay up so long that I cant keep my eyes open any longer and pass out from exaustion 

 

 

[Vermillion 613]

yeas i was looking for a topic like this

well...most people call me a weirdo for this, but i listen to metalcore, melodic hardcore, etc... to help me get to sleep

 

here is an example 

[Rayalicious 435]

Usually songs, not super boring stuff but some dubstep, smooth debstep to be more specific. This is my favorite one so far. (also brony music)

[Sylentmana 271]

I like to turn on a floor fan as I need the white noise in order to sleep. I also make the temperature of the room slightly cool and I think of stories and adventures for characters I create. The characters are usually the ones I created for D&D or video games, but I also like to dream up adventures for my pony OC.

 

If none of that works then a nice cup of camomile tea usually does the trick.

[wcgunmaxp 6]

what helps me sleep? any 009 sound system song on shuffle and a nightlight. i sometimes talk to myself or roleplay by my self until i fall asleep .-.

[AstroNova 133]

Sometimes I'll just listen to Chillstep or Serious Sam music. Other times, I'll be too tired to even turn on my computer, and I'll just grab my Rainbow Dash plush, cuddle it, and fall asleep. When I have my Dashie plush, I fall asleep in like 10 seconds or something. lol

[Ghost 173]

I have a plush dragon I cuddle with, which helps me relax and fall asleep quicker.  I also sometimes listen to soothing music.  If I can't sleep, I usually end up thinking of random scenarios until I end up drifting off. 

[Sweet Dreams 1,892]

I usually go to bed pretty early (like 9-9:30) but I never get to sleep until around 10. I usually just play my ipad until I get too tired to do anything anymore and fall right asleep.

Often I'll just lay there and contemplate life, though.

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

I usually slam some acoustic Ellie Goulding or Sigur Ros on quietly, make my room as dark as it possibly can be and then snuggle up with my Spike plushie xD

[NavelColt 22,875]

It not being stiflingly hot. That's about my one deal-breaker. Like many people, it's impossible to get to sleep from how uncomfortable I am when it's hot. Air conditioner in the summer, open window in the fall, and periodically closed and opened during the winter for short bursts of cool air + the occasional fan.

 

White noise is nice, but I've never actually bothered to try and measure how well it may or may not work. It always takes me twenty minutes or so to fall asleep regardless what I do, so it's kinda hard to tell.

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

Well, I have to take 5 different medications everyday just to help me sleep. I also have a Twily plushie that I really love, and she's pretty comforting for me. She normally falls asleep with me every night. I don't know how I could go to bed without her. 

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Honestly, the only thing that helps me go to sleep is exhaustion. Like I gotta be SUPER tired to even be able to fall asleep. 

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

5mg of melatonin helps me sleep.

YouTube videos that I've already seen.
