Lie down and minimize movement
Close your eyes and relax your face
Keep breathing slow and steady
Reduce breathing depth slightly
Keep your body still and comfortable
Turn your head slightly to a natural angle
Use a consistent posture for several minutes
Avoid sudden shifts, fidgeting, or readjusting
Keep hands relaxed and out of view if needed
Maintain quiet, low-noise breathing
Let your eyelids stay closed without twitching
Keep your mouth gently relaxed, slightly closed
Avoid talking, swallowing repeatedly, or clearing your throat
If lying on your side, keep shoulders and hips settled
If asked a question, respond minimally and softly or remain silent
If you must change positions, do it once slowly and then stay still
Stop checking the room or listening for cues
Keep your phone and any light sources away from your face
If you’re in bed with others, avoid reacting to their movements
If someone approaches, don’t startle—stay still
If you need to end the “sleep,” open your eyes slowly when safe to do so
