**Faking** **sleep** can save from anyone bothering you. Yes but it requires skill because a fast asleep and fake asleep can easily be differentiated. Whether it is an annoying roommate or skipping a day from work or trying to hide from chores. If you want to fake sleep you’ll have to practise yourself into tips that will lead other believe that you are deep in dreams. ### Natural sleeping position You should be well aware of your sleeping position. Sleeping with arms wide spreading all over the bed or squeezing all the body in like a cat. Whatever the sleeping position you generally have is the natural one. You can ask someone else to describe you while asleep. Picking up the sleeping position that tends to be natural is the first step in fooling others to believe you are asleep. #### Motionlessness The natural way of sleep is to be motionless. The unnecessary movements will quickly let the other person know that you are not asleep. This phenomenon is also called sleep paralysis that the connection between brain and body suspends and you are motionless in deep sleep. This is what you experience in dreand that sometimes you cannot speak or act like you want. If sleep paralysis wasn’t there you would be running all over just like in dream because brain cannot differentiate between dreams and reality. ### Close your eyes. You body is in the most relaxed state while asleep. Practise the same when faking. You have attained the natural sleeping position now it comes to closing the. If you are force pushing your eyes to close anyone would judge you are not sleeping. Keep them at the gentle position that anyone would know you are relaxed and asleep. Relax yourself first and try not to bring any frown on the forehead. ### Breathing The breathing pattern in sleep is slow and rythmic. With passage of time we loose the understanding of proper breathing. Breathing rhythmically is one way to keep the entire body relaxed. It calms the mind and brings peace to each and every part of the body. Nevertheless the fake sleeping can lead to relaxing yourself intentionally. Once you have aced yourself in deep breathing the test of the body will automatically follow the calmness and you will be able to mail the above mentioned prerequisites easily. ### Reaction to surroundings. A person is not ■■■■ in sleep because hid body is still aware of the surrounding. Out ears are still hit by the noises around us. While fake sleeping you are not supposed to be deaf towards the noises around you. To better put up the show it is a nice addition to show slight reaction to the surrounding. Maybe a little twitch or change of sides will let others know that you are in natural deep sleep. ## Faking a full night sleep ### Cold shower Get out if the bed and jump in the shower. Nothing can start your day better other than getting a quick cold shower that will rejuvenate the skin, increase the heart rate and boost up the metabolism. In this way you are giving yourself a kick start so that you body wakes up and gets you ready for the day ahead. ### Dress up People may underestimate dressing up but this is one way to tell your mind that you are fresh and good to go. People dress up only if they have to go to work or out somewhere. Well we believe that dressing up should be part of your routine even if you are staying home. This will keep you active throughout the day. Doesn’t have to be a bunch of facny clothes to be put on just a little grooming of face will do at home. ### Breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of the day and if you want your day full of energy then better take the required Cal’s from the morning meal. Include a balanced approach to your breakfast including carbohydrates, proteins and fibers in equal proportions. An oatmeal porridge is a very good option to go with. Try treating yourself so your body gets a message that you care for it. ### Coffee. A fine dose of caffein can boost you up. If you did not have a nice night sleep and have a day ahead to pull off the chores then coffee is the right choice. It will wake you up gettingnyour body ready for the coming day challenges. ### Staying active Your body gets the message real quick that you are tired. Try not to sit idle or the mind will rot. Keep yourself moving even if you think it is for no purpose. Going for a walk or a run is the best way to keep yourself busy and active at the same time. You will notice the energy running throughout the body with a good sense of wellbeing. ### Snacking Eating in portions is much preferred way of keeping the energy levels up to the mark and not flooding your body. Snacks is the best option. Try snacking through the day to keep the digestive system active. However the choice of snacks should not be sugary otherwise body can experience sugar crash. This is a simple phenomenon that when you give sugar to your body for time being there is a ride in energy levels called the sugar rush but all of a sudden it drops and gives lethargy called sugar crash. ## Summary. Situations can lead into other believe that you are asleep while actually you are not. It is better to be prepared and practise faking sleep. You should exercise deep breathing when you are alone this will help in relaxing the body. Once you know how to keep a rhythmic breathing pattern you can also do the same while faking which will lead others into believing that you are fast asleep.
