Lemmings who can fall asleep within minutes of their head hitting the pillow, what's your secret? (lemmy.world)

Are you just always tired? Do you have some kind of bedtime ritual? Have you had issues sleeping in the past and how did you handle that?

I have what I self proclaim a "float switch". Once my head tilts a 45 degree angle, I fall asleep. I've been like this all my 39 years of existence. I cannot go to these new movie theaters labeled "Dream Lounger Ultra XL" with those reclining king size sofas because I can't justify paying $30 to take a nap.

My wife gets mad at me how fast I fall asleep. I can't fucking help it!

Would you fall asleep if someone physically placed you horizontal or tilted your head back lol

Like flipping a shark over and making it stupor.

Just looked that up, interesting phenomenon for what we see as an apex predator. Even more crazy is what I read after the definition of tonic immobility lol

"In 1997, an Orca in the Farallon Islands was seen holding a White Shark upside down for 15 minutes. Whether intentional or not, the Orca likely caused the shark to enter tonic immobility. Defenceless, the shark, suffocated. This also happened again in 2000."

Nature is crazy
