Night Owl Novel Sprint

by WaffleKnight Deep Drafting

Short Story in an Evening

by WaffleKnight Deep Drafting

Full Body Scan

by WaffleKnight Body Scan

Start routine Open

A classic 20-minute body scan, moving your attention slowly from your toes to the top of your head. Lie on your back. You're not trying to relax, just to notice. If you fall asleep, that's fine too.

Evening Wind-Down

Start routine Open

A 25-minute bedtime routine to tell your brain the day is over. Start about half an hour before you want to be asleep.

Cognitive Shuffle

by WaffleKnight Sleep

Start routine Open

Scramble a racing mind with random, unconnected images, the kind of drifting thought that comes just before sleep. About 10 minutes. Pick a word with no repeated letters, like BLANKET.

Two-Minute Sleep Drill

by WaffleKnight Sleep

Start routine Open

The relaxation drill made famous as a military method for falling asleep anywhere. It takes practice: give it a few weeks.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

by WaffleKnight Sleep

Start routine Open

Tense and release each muscle group from your feet up, so your body learns to let go. About 5 minutes, lying in bed. For each step, tense the muscles for 5 seconds, then release and notice the difference for the rest of the time.
