Maea Can't Sleep
Maea, an 8-year-old girl from Seattle, struggles with falling asleep at night. As she battles her anxiety and sleeplessness, she learns valuable wisdom on how to calm her mind and rest peacefully.
Maea was an 8-year-old girl who lived in Seattle with her Corgi puppy, Pebble. Despite her funny nature and bright smile, Maea had a big problem. She just couldn't fall asleep at night, no matter how hard she tried. Every night, she tossed and turned, feeling more and more anxious. It made her tired and grumpy the next day, and she needed to find a way to solve it.
Maea decided to ask her mom for help. Her mom suggested reading a book before bed. Maea tried this, but her mind was still too busy to relax. She just couldn't stop thinking about all the things that happened during the day. Maea felt even more frustrated.
Next, Maea tried listening to calming music. She turned on her favorite lullabies and closed her eyes. But Pebble started barking at the sounds outside the window. Maea was startled and her anxiety grew even more. She felt like nothing was working.
Maea felt like giving up. She thought she'd never be able to fall asleep like other kids. She buried her face in her pillow and started to cry. Pebble jumped onto the bed and nuzzled her, trying to cheer her up.
Just then, Maea remembered something her grandma once told her. Grandma said, 'When you can't sleep, imagine a peaceful place in your mind.' Maea decided to give it a try. She closed her eyes and imagined herself in a beautiful meadow with flowers and a gentle breeze.
As Maea focused on her peaceful place, she felt her body relax. Pebble curled up beside her, and Maea finally started to feel sleepy. She realized that calming her mind was the key to falling asleep. From that night on, Maea used her imagination to find peace and drifted off to sleep with a smile.
