If they are obviously tired, but fighting to stay awake, a short trip in the car usually works in 5-10 minutes. I had a rough bitumen road route all mapped out until it was resurfaced.
I’ve heard the washer on spin cycle can work, but that is probably for younger ages who can’t climb out of a bassinet.
The push to stay awake usually comes from having other people over or some high interest event happening. I black out as many windows as possible and turn off all lights. You can try the same music, prior to bedtime, as a sleep-cue, like a Riff-Raff etc. Try playing a technical monotone podcast or DIY-vid audio, might work.
Sleeping with mum or dad’s worn shirts can help, providing a comforting scent etc.
When lying down in the same room, playing a game of “I’m going to get to sleep first” can often start things off on the road to sleepytown.
Good luck zzzz (c:

Yes, it is worth getting into video games. Mental quickness, friends, and less Alzheimers are some benefits.
People in this post are making excellent recommendations for quality commercial games.
I can recommend starting out in videogames, by getting into Free Software (Libre) games.
Libre Games cost nothing, have no spyware, and usually have positive, helpful, DIY focused communities.
Here is a post I made that lists a few of my favourite free games on desktop and mobile.

If any on this list are too difficult or hard to set up, just skip.

Historical note
The Fool’s Errand game, from 1987, sold very well with women gamers. Over 50% IIRC.
It is a tricky puzzle game with Tarot Card theming and an excellent sense of humour.
Fool’s Errand is not Free Software though, and way out of print. It could probably be emulated on a device that you have, PC or phone.
The one we didn’t know we needed!
Love it. (c:

I invent the 10 day week.

Tell me more about rubber duck…
Some sort of automatic down-sampling feature before posting, for images, video and maybe audio.
DeltaChat has this built in to minimise file-sizes before posting.
Something like this would reduce plenty of bandwith/processor use/carbon etc. Increase speed of loading pages.
With an option to click to see the original media too.

Yes, same.
I thought it was from the top of the lighthouse for 20 seconds, then flipped over to bottom.
OP is best OP.
Stall recovered. 🛩️
Dudes love sharing a 4.72MB picture to Imagepipe before posting, to reduce that filesize to 691kb. 😌 (This could be baked in to some Lemmy clients)
But yeah, 8yr old me thinks that stick is a pretty sweet find.
1·20 days agoAn excellent overview of software errors and their consequences.
Sidenote: The bongo-playing-bug is just the best, can watch it for that alone.
I have heard from someone else that it can become an addictive sleep primer.
The other tip I forgot, is that they need to be full of food. If they are very tired/irritable and not going down, offer their 3 favourite foods + some milk. After eating their fill, this should trigger a whole bunch of sleepiness.
