Before praying I like to rinse my arms, hands and head with moon water. Then I scent around with lavender oil. Every single thing that brings sleep is good for the god of dreams.

I've decided to start wearing amethyst and moonstone before praying and so, gifting my sleep to the gods of the night. I intend to learn soon the prayers to Hypnos from the Orphic Hymns, too.
