Hey, whatever works? I mean, I'd imagine it would be unpleasant if you can't sleep at all without that, but I do weird things to get to sleep. I normally listen to podcasts going to sleep, but the other day I mentally wrote an essay about Iron Man as I fell asleep....

[broadwaybabe11.livejournal.com]

lol. A lot of times I have mental conversations with people until I fall asleep. I thought I was weird.

Aww at least it helps you go to sleep. My best friend says he puts on the HP films to help him sleep. He says he particularly likes CoS.

[(Anonymous)]

don't we all do silly things like that? >__>

[ooh_mrdarcy]

I sometimes do that too.

[(Anonymous)]

Not self-insert, but I used to *always* fall asleep imagining Harry Potter scenarios between my favorite ships and friendships. Now I still do it, just with other fandoms. I think of them like bedtime stories.

And what HP fan hasn't had a self-insert (probably Mary-Sue 'cause, hey, *fantasy*) fantasy?! You're definitely not alone. :-)

[(Anonymous)]

I do the same thing. Not with Harry Potter, but in my particular fandoms. It's fun. :D

Although, no self-inserts here. Just not my thing, but whatever works for OP. It's hard enough to get to sleep sometimes, anyway. ^___^

[philstar22]

fandom fantasies are the only way I can get to sleep either. I've created massive crossover fantasies with characters that I imagine myself as. Though in the case of Potter, more often than not I'm more likely to imagine myself as female!Harry rather than someone who tags along with the Trio.

I don't think this is a bad thing. The problem with Mary Sues for me is when people put their own personal fantasies online as if everyone wants to read about them. Nothing wrong with creating them for yourself in your own head.

[(Anonymous)]

fem!Harry night-time mental self-insert forever!

(I'm even tempted to write fic now; there are so very few good ones that aren't one-shots or abandoned. :( )

[(Anonymous)]

Someone else who gets to sleep by dreaming up gigantic self-insert crossover fantasies? Ah, this makes me happy.

[elaminator]

As you can see from the comments plenty of people do this, and if it helps you sleep that's fantastic. It isn't hurting anyone and you enjoy yourself, so I see no shame in this.

/does this with lots of fandoms, but usually without the self-insert.

[(Anonymous)]

I did this for YEARS, OP! I bet if I listened to the tapes now I still would.

[silvereriena]

I still do that, OP. When I'm not sleepy at all, especially. It's quite fun.

[velvet_mace]

That's a lot better than taking drugs! For what it's worth, I don't listen to audiobooks, but I do write OC fanfic in my head while I'm falling asleep. Something about running my own characters trough a world is relaxing.

[la_petite_singe]

And somehow my own comment/question is Jim or Stephen?

[fickletastictot]

I'd like to know this too. (And which one do people prefer anyway?)

[fickletastictot]

Aww, yeah. I listen to audio books all the time to help me fall asleep. (LOTR, Howl's moving Castle, or Roald Dahl's stuff for me. Sometimes I like to throw in Jane Austen's Persuasion. :3)

Ooh, and documentaries~
