It is the second Monday of the month, so it is time to share our lives. This month, the prompt is our tips for falling asleep. I don’t have much of a problem falling asleep, but these are the things I do at night. Maybe it is the reason I don’t have a problem falling asleep.

Turn out the overhead lights. I do have a lamp on my nightstand that gives enough light to read. I feel like having lower light helps me relax and get sleepy.
Relax my body and mind. If I get things on my mind, I will pray, and before long, what was on my mind has left.
Have a purring cat, or three, sleeping on your bed. That always helps (as long as they aren’t up playing instead LOL). I’m sure a sleeping dog helps too 🙂
Read until you get sleepy. Works for me most every time I sit down to read! HAHA
