Sleep [Hypnos], king of Gods, and men of mortal birth, sov'reign of all sustain'd by mother Earth; / For thy dominion is supreme alone, o'er all extended, and by all things known / 'Tis thine all bodies with benignant mind in other bands than those of brass to bind: / Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose, from whom sweet solace in affliction flows...

I'm gonna study u and ur mythology and I'm gonna worship u.

Hypnos, king of Gods, and men of mortal birth, sovereign of all, sustained by mother earth; for thy dominion is supreme alone, over all extended, and by all things known. 'Tis thine all bodies with benignant mind in other bands than those of brass to bind. Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose, and from whom sacred solace in affliction flows. Thy pleasing gentle chains preserve the soul, and even the dreadful cares of death control; for Thanatos (Death), and Lethe (Forgetfulness) with oblivious stream, mankind thy genuine brothers justly deem. With favouring aspect to my prayer incline, and save thy mystics in their works divine."

if you are able to, I highly recommend making your bed an altar for him. since I have I;

get much better sleep

easier to fall asleep

feel more comfortable at night and in bed

less nightmares + trauma dreams

when I DO wake up from a nightmare or trauma dream, or otherwise wake up with a trauma response, he holds and soothes me 🥺💗

way way WAY harder for me to make our bed a depression nest (especially since for me it is literally sharing a bed with him)

I don't eat in bed as much anymore (he prefers I don't do that), and when I do I'm very careful about crumbs. I clean the crumbs off right away because I know he doesn't like crumbs in bed, and I don't either. It makes for a happier and healthier feeling bed

I put more effort into keeping our bed neater, and it makes me feel better in turn

he cuddles me to sleep every night and I love and adore him and his cuddles
