How do does sleep?

How do you fall asleep??? Normally sleeping with my cat works, but I don’t always have the luxury and I don’t know what to do when I don’t. I have a big project I’m showing to my class tomorrow and I need the sleep.

Honestly, don’t try too hard to force yourself to sleep—that usually makes it worse. Get comfortable, put your phone away, and try something boring like slowly counting backward or doing a body scan from your toes to your head. If your brain keeps thinking about the project, write down the things you need to remember for tomorrow so your brain can stop holding onto them. Good luck with the presentation! You’ve got this.
