Risa will never be contained.

It's like trying to move a very large heavy mass of cockroaches and liquid food in a garbage bag across a parking lot by yourself

Don't worry, the sleepiness will come back strong as soon as the sun starts to rise

When you get in bed and the moon is shining like a spotlight on your face.

For all the amazing technology and futuristic ideas found in the Star Trek universe, I can't remember ever seeing a comfortable looking bed in any of the series.

It's like none of them believe in blankets!

Maybe try taking of your work clothes...

Just tried it. Now what? Everyone in the office is staring and it's cold in here.

Now lay down! Duh

When I was in the Navy, I slept like a rock. The constant sound of the air conditioning and the subtle sound of the engines...Now imagine the constant humming and rumble of a starship in the Trek universe. Pure heaven!

Background-sleep-noise people unite! I have a sound app that has tons of options, like boiling mud is a choice, but no star trek warp core! What a missed opportunity, I wonder if I would prefer it to the"red noise" option I use 🤔

Maybe try getting an adult size bed. Taking your shoes off might also help. Cool pyjamas though.

If I cannot fall asleep in 30 minutes or so, I "give up" and go lay on sofa and watch something low intesity from youtube (restoration channels are great for this. This removes most pressure to fall asleep, which often is enough to make it possible to fall asleep quicklyish. And if not, at least watching videos is more interesting that lying in dark room.

Note that you should either wear blue-light blocking glasses (not those barely tinted "computer glasses", but those that are meant for blocking lasers), or use some software solution, in order to not disturb melatonin production. It's a good idea to start doing this at least an hour before going to bed in order to allow melatonin to build-up.
