What do you do, just before closing your eyes when in bed?
I tell myself stories... and, some... get written, eventually.
Usually think of everything I have to do when I get up.
In order for me to go to sleep most nights, I have to play little word games in my head.
Think of my boyfriend and how being apart flipping sucks
Cuddle with my boyfriend, and usually pray as I'm falling asleep.
put chapstick on my lips... can't go to sleep without it.
turn the teevee off and, read erotica
{to fuel the imagination, of course}
I read before I fall asleep. Sometimes I will just think of random scenarios until my brain gets tired.
before you close your eyes???
erm, okaies.
double-check the locks, AGAIN!
mmmmm... mentally set my personal 'alarm clock'.
usually works very well.
Think "It was a poor day, but I survived! See you later, Sink!".
... of late, I listen to the rainfall, outside my window.
I think about society and ask myself "where are we going?".
Listen to the peepers in the pond out back of the house.
Watch Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and let my mind wander to wherever it wants to go, sometimes bitch at my dog to give me some more room on my dog
I usually just think about everything I have to do the next day and make sure I did everything that I need to do.
i agree with Biohazard, but i also think of my DawnOfTheDead
Think of random "what might have been" scenarios... and fall asleep.
I set the timer on my TV and watch a little until I drift off to dream.
I turn the music on and pass out. I can't sleep when it's dead quiet lol
I put my knee over the edge of the bed and furrow my brow,
My thoughts are not predictable or deliberate in this state
take my crazy lady medicine and read a book till I fall asleep
Ha! That is IF I sleep! My mind is a always racing, to better make efficient use of my time while awake concerning my daily and or nightly tasks. Sometimes, I do have ideas that must be written down, other times it is much more simple and I am able to explore other thoughts in their random order, but that is a rare luxury , for more important immediate issues are usually on the helm.
Usually stay up to the utmost hours, reading until I feel like I can sleep.
When I can't, I just lay there and visualize sacred geometry or other things..
listen to the drunken twerps, stumbling home passed where I live... darn so an so's...
LOL...Yes, I have done that before....
I usually make a mental note of all those things I have to do when I wake up....
I pull my pillows down to the side of me (I have about 7 of them) and make it into like... a little cosy nest. I do it every single night, lol. Then imagine warm and cuddly things. Boom, sleeping in 5 seconds.
i take my hands off the mouse and keyboard - just for a moment whilst i ......
hear my Dad banging on the wrong wall, thinking I am in the backroom still...
new name for it.
erm...
was thinkin... second, or third time?
I kinda wake a few time Nowadays... mind's just forever whirlin...
so... my thought's, multi-stranded, again.

{before closing one's eyes for bed --- story there,
assuredly...}
of late, clear my sinus. Blechhh.
Let my mind drift into certain far-reaching thought frames
I suffer from untreated Sleep Apnea so I don't sleep: I rest but don't sleep.
i imagine something or someone that i want to dream about....
