Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

Go lay down and fall asleep within a few minutes no matter what. I know a few people who can do this and I am so jealous.

Have you tried reading in bed? It's not just a few minutes but it definitely helps me make the eyes tired and heavy which makes me know when I can close the book and fall asleep in a matter of minutes.

I can at times but even if im not asleep I can get into a relaxed state within a few minutes even if im not asleep for half an hour.

Exercise during the day so you're physically tired. Either that or get a job on night shift so your sleep schedule is continuously messed up.
