How do you sleep at night?

[Conspiracy Nut]

How!?

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

Turn off the lights, close my eyes, bingo!

Sweet dreams about how wonderful things will be after we are all assimilated vaccinated.

I've been sleeping brilliantly after Bill gave me meds.

I get citalopram injected into my eyelids and now I sleep like a baby, every time. Also helps with the anxiety and the occasional bout of existential dread, which is nice.

It generally involves some time daydreaming about a long term mental architectural project. Sometimes drifting off involves a dream of dying in a very specific way, but sleep comes eventually.

I wait until I'm tired, usually around 11pm. Then I have the TV on mute in the background as a distraction, or sometimes total silence. Never completely dark. Then I sleep.

If I can't sleep, I close my eyes and smile, and imagine myself in a loving man's arms. That works a lot.

Have a bad body clock, so feeling tired at an appropriate time doesn't happen. Learned a long time ago, mental projects help to eliminate busy thoughts about real life which prevent trying to fall asleep. Being snapped awake by death while drifting off seems a common thing people do, falling off cliffs and whatnot.

It helps me to have all the lights dimly lit around me for 3-4 hours beforehand. I have my laptop screen at the dimmest setting too, that seems to work.

Mental projects, anything that gets the mind to think like that is actually a bad idea. I still don't get the link to death, maybe because you said you dream of dying in a specific way, and then sleep comes. You mean daydreaming?

No, not a daydream. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk

I daydream about sleeping.

[Lord of the Ales]

I stop trying to be awake. If struggling, I think of Richie Allen.

I didn't know some people experienced hallucinations from that. Interesting.

Don't consider it a hallucination; it's a dream. Though it's always the same dream which is strange. It's not a falling dream, so have never told anyone exactly what it is, because the consistency makes it feel somewhat prophetic. Don't genuinely believe it's prophetic, so saying I think I know how I'm going to die strikes as a silly thing to do.

Sorry, the Wiki article referred to them as hallucinations. My bad. I've had lots of the same dreams for years about my teeth falling out randomly and haunted houses. None of them came true.

I hope the death dream isn't too scary for you.

Maybe it's a psychological thing related to stress and/or trauma?
