IMPROMPTU #128: What Puts You to Sleep?

"The previous night she'd heard an owl hooting behind the little house, which had put her to sleep." - Sandra Birdsell, The Russlander

What puts you to sleep? Cuban music, counting goats? ASMR haircut roleplays? Frog song? Choose one thing and get inside the experience, open it up. Or maybe try a list poem.
