[ The message comes out late at night that Leia doesn't expect anyone to be awake to answer. She's pulling a Han right now; the man has a terrible habit of sending these late night texts out. Looks like she's learned from the best of the best.

There's a catch, however, and it's that Leia's locked this from any immediate family and friends*. She doesn't need the extra worry. Doesn't want anyone camping out on her front step. She might have missed someone, going through the directory this late, though.
]

I've spent the last hour trying to go back through what's available. I've also tried browsing what's online. It hasn't worked out so well.

What I'm looking for are remedies. Something that works in helping someone fall asleep and stay asleep without waking every two hours.

When I say remedies, I mean the kind that come in the form of personal experience. If you've had trouble keeping a sleep schedule, please, share what works for you?



( *out of the cast, this post is locked from Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Hux, Finn, Kanan, Poe, Kylo, Lando. Anyone else in the cast directory wasn't locked out and receives the message/can reply/can pass it on. )

Generally, my go to is another skilled -- and if at all possible, trusted -- telepath, who can ease my mind into a peaceful sleep. If one isn't available, it's a toss-up between a small amount of room temperature beer (unless all that's around is that crap that Americans call beer; I won't touch that), or a melatonin pill. All three of those methods have worked for me in the past.

[ Yuuri's not one for online activity, but this post catches his attention. He's had plenty of trouble falling asleep before, especially the day before a competition. ]

There are some teas that can help. Chamomile or lavender are good ones.

Tea isn't a bad one. Alcohol helps, too.

[ there are a lot more herbal remedies but he hasn't tried those. Also "watching tv until you're too tired to stay awake" probably isn't the best advice to offer. ]

Is it insomnia or nightmares?

Tea is a good starter. Something to help calm. Some light meditation techniques could help keep someone at rest. Perhaps find something to imitate lights sounds from home. I find rain relaxing.

Is it you that is having trouble sleeping?

- put mattress directly on floor; stack books/etc around higher than head will be - construct nest basically - aids primal instincts re physical safety
- something to listen to can relieve own thoughts - spoken word better for some than music e.g. narrative, weather report droning, childrens programming (reliably lacks violence) - turn visual off/cover screen for sound only
- fresh air if available + ambient outdoor sounds can help or not
- orgasms - masturbation maybe more conducive though bedmate can help depending on relationship/sleeping habits
- a pet who will sleep through the night - reptiles and predator mammals usually best
- dont make goal 'sleep' - make goal 'resting' - relieve some internal pressure / meditation, stretches, breathing, visualizations, etc - as with audio aid: distract/trick self into allowing not forcing
- sedatives worth try - for some can cause restive dreams - avoid self-medicating


[all things he's talked about with others, relatively impersonal (assuming one had the same outlook on physicality/sexuality)

But because it's Leia, someone he still may not be close to but trusts implicitly… fills the request for "personal experience". At all, and in more detail.]


i'd have to offset the space i was in
if sleeping outside - find a way to feel enclosed
if stuck on a ship - take bedroll off bunk sleep directly on deck
find the balance between defensibility and not feeling trapped

when i couldnt quiet my mind
would stay in the cockpit
leave the comms on to chatter or static
focusing on the discomfort of the chair actually helped
as did being able to open my eyes and see stars
rather than being stuck with myself in the dark

and here

jyn

knowing even if we wake up
wouldnt be alone with myself esp if woken by nightmare
so sleeping through the night is best
but knowing that even if sleep is interrupted its okay
get to be aware of holding her

makes the prospect less dreadful



-- common thread possibly
find ways to be able to relax even into sleeplessness
removing the dread and pressure
which can be self-defeating re getting [back] to sleep







all this skewed twd adapting to or rehabilitating from certain conditions
can offer more appropriate tips if none of this applicable
if youre ok sharing own details

Are you considering medical help? Usually stress can alter sleep, but if it's something that continuously happens, perhaps it'd be better to consider professorial aid.

Hot tea, well-honeyed if it's available. Perhaps a hot toddy. Deep breathing helps! Sometimes, if I really can't sleep, I'll get up and walk, or work anyway. Take a bite out of whatever's worrying you in some way, and see if that helps sleep come.

Telepathy. Meditation. Both of which aren't instant cures but ones that can be cultivated through years of experience.

A calming conversation, a glass of milk or a familiar book work wonders at times.

Sometimes nothing else but a long run work.

If I may ask, is there something that troubles you tonight?
