Monsters with Sleepy-time Tea

I have a somewhat odd way of falling asleep. I only play this game if I'm getting frustrated with my brain because it won't stop talking to itself. What I do is this: I pretend a group of 5 assassins (one for every member of the family) has infiltrated my house and has orders to watch over us while we sleep and to kill anyone who seems awake. And I can be a great actress when I want to be (at sleeping anyway). I remind myself that these assassins are no fools and they know all the tell-tale signs of someone who is REALLY asleep. So I begin to take slower, deeper breaths. My fingers or toes twitch a little, as sleeping people's do, but apart from that, I relax all my muscles to remain completely still. If I do shift, I remember to remain loose and to not particularly care where my arms fall, etc.

I had to use this last night as it was going on 5:30am and that is just ridiculous.

I was asleep within minutes.
