probably a really dumb question but think it’s messed up that in order to fall asleep we have to pretend we are until we trick our brains or something, why can’t we just do it? like flipping a switch?

You ever get bored and sleepy? That’s how it’s supposed to work. If you’re stressed or preoccupied, your brain knows it shouldn’t be sleeping. Clearly there’s a tiger nearby and laying down is a bad idea, right???

That’s what it thinks, anyways. If you’re not bored, you shouldn’t try and sleep.
