Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Lay down and make sure the lights are out. If you sleep with a TV on but muted, make sure you do both of these.
Step2
Make sure you are in the position that you usually sleep in, on your back, on your stomach or even on your side. This is important, because even if you change during the night you should be in the position you normally find yourself when you wake.
Step3
Fix the covers in whatever way you have them when you are sleeping. If you usually have your arm or foot out, fix them that way. Everything should be the way it would be if you were asleep.
Step4
Regulate your breathing so it seems like you are sleeping. You can even snore a little if you know that you usually snore.
Step5
Be sure not to move if someone is in your room. You want to lie perfectly still. If they shake you to wake you, start muttering and say how miserable you feel, you just want to sleep, and hopefully they will get the message and go away.
