[ 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. )

It does take some practice. We can work on that a bit on the side, if you would like. It sometimes helps in quieting the mind before sleeping. I have trouble staying asleep once in a while as well. Sometimes it's the small things that work best.

Exorcise, train, or just wear yourself out in a healthy way by day can sometimes make a difference at night.

I would like that, yes. And you're right, it does take practice. But we have time.

Once we have the pieces for my lightsaber, we can do something about training. I'd really like that.

We do have time, and perhaps the practice will help. Perhaps not. If it's nightmares, there are other things that can be done to help.

As for training, you know we could start that anytime you want. I've got some wooden swords to train with Luke on. You are more than welcome to try as well. I can teach you some sequences that you can do on your own as well, to help wear you out.

Such as?

Would I need to work with the wooden swords before I'm to use my lightsaber?

Have you ever heard of Lucid dreaming? It too takes a bit of practice, but it can help. I used to have nightmares, after the fall. Once I was able to tell myself in dreams that I was dreaming, I started to be able to take control of the situations. It doesn't always work, of course, but... it can help.

You wouldn't have to, but it wouldn't do any harm either. Unfortunately I don't have any training sabers here, or else we could do it properly.

I haven't heard of it, no. If it involves the Force then my knowledge on that is very limited.

Then we'll just have to be careful.
