10 Things To Count While Falling Asleep

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

Sometimes it is extremely hard to fall asleep like you did when you were a baby.  Remember when you were able to just pass out anywhere and do it quickly?  I listed a few different “things” to count while you’re falling asleep to hopefully make you fall asleep a bit faster.  They’re a bit ridiculous but if they don’t help you to fall asleep, let’s at least hope they make you laugh. Let us know if they worked!

  1. Count sheep (that’s a classic..duh!)
  2. Count how many times you procrastinated today
  3. Count how many toes you have (hey, you never know)
  4. Count how many times your boyfriend annoyed you
  5. Count mermaids
  6. Count how many times you said the work “like” today
  7. Count backwards from 300,983,302
  8. Count how many chips you think you ate today and then count how many chips you really ate
  9. Count pigs
  10. Count how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop
