Do you think Hypnos relishes in cradling newborns, asleep more often than they are awake?
Do you think Morpheus smiles at lucid dreamers as they explore his realm, mesmerized and delighted by the beauty of it?
Do you think Hypnos runs a gentle hand through your hair as you nap away a headache?
Do you think Morpheus shapes a child's dream after their favorite bedtime story, just to bring them joy?
Do you think Hypnos holds you in his arms just a bit closer when someone tries to wake you but you still need more rest?
Do you think Morpheus watches encouragingly as you lay in bed in the morning, trying to remember what you dreamed about?

Create your own mythology
No seriously
The poets of our mythology worshipped these deities too, if they create it why can't you?
Recognize the symbolism of the gods, recognize the symbolism of these tales. I consider my play of my dnd character Saix to be a devotional act to Hypnos, as he was a cleric to Remnus(God of Sleep), and ended up taking the role of sleep god for Himself. Do not be too strict, for the symbols of the Gods are fluid in their interpretation.
They will love what you do to literature that features them, even if it may put them in an "evil" light, in hellenism there isn't pure good or evil, only balance

An insomniac's prayer
Ever restful Hypnos send me into a peaceful slumber. Let my eyes become heavy, my body too. Send me off to dreamland so I may see you. Let me awaken fresh, rested and all anew. Fill my head with sweet dreams of lavender and honey. Send me into sweet slumber, that's all I ask of you.

Orphic Hymn to Hypnos
Sleep, you are lord of all the blessed gods and mortal men, And of every living creature the broad earth nurtures, For you alone are master of all and you visit all, Binding their bodies with fetters unforged. You free us of cares, and, offering sweet respite from toil, You grant holy solace to our every sorrow. You save souls by easing them into the thought of death, Since to Death and Oblivion you are a true brother. But, O blessed one, I beseech you to come, sweet-tempered, And kindly save the initiates that they may serve the gods

I never realized how much good religion could do for me until I started worshipping Hypnos.
I've been worshipping him for just over a week now, and it's brought me so much joy.
I've been getting better sleep, I've been more optimistic, and I've been able to overcome a lot of fears and anxiety.
He's so patient with me. Even when I make mistakes when it comes to worshiping him, he's forgiving and loving.
He's okay with me not being able to make an alter. He's okay with me stuttering and messing up during prayers. He's okay with me taking things slow.
He truly is the most gentle of the gods.

I imagine Lord Hypnos cradling all of His worshippers and devotees in His arms like His children, humming them lullabies so they may rest gently

Worship.
Worshipping the blessed gods is so lovely, praying to them, giving them offerings, lighting up their candles, thinking about them, seeing them in everyday life. It's all so amazing. <3

This is your sign to slap your deity all over your city as a form of worship

I've already whined to Hypnos and now I've come to whine to everyone else. He gets to hold us every night and yet we can't hug him in return this is beyond tragic this is a grave injustice to him actually

Low energy Devotional Acts for when you don’t have a lot of energy (or time, or money, etc.)
💀Thanatos💀
- listen to a devotional playlist for Him
- listens to ‘dark ambient’ soundscapes
- learn about butterflies
- if able, visit a cemetery
- learn about the work that death doulas, hospice workers, funeral directors, morticians, cemetery caretakers, and grief counselors do
- if able tend to the grave of a loved one (tidy it up, bring new flowers/decorations, etc.)
- talk to deceased loved ones (doesn’t have to be anything fancy- I talk to my dead dog all the time I say good morning to him and when we leave I tell him we’ll be back etc. whatever you wanna tell them you tell them!)
- learn the stages of grief and how complex grief is
- if interested and able (I know this can be touchy) learn about the process of dying and what happens to the body after death
- learn about what you can have done to your body after death- there’s lots of interesting options out there! Burial at sea is still very much a thing that can be done, I didn’t know that until I got curious and looked this stuff up!
- if able and willing talk to your loved ones about what your wishes are for when you die- what do you want to happen to your body, what do you want your funeral to be like, etc. (I include this because I used to work in assisted living and nothing is worse than your family just not knowing what your wishes are for when you die, I’ve heard too many horror stories)
- learn about death magic and spirit work
- learn about the Victorian era spirituality craze (like the uptick in things like seances and all that, it’s all very interesting)
- learn about the many ways to communicate with the dead
- destigmatize death- death has become a very hush-hush subject which doesn’t really do us any favors in my opinion so don’t be afraid to talk about it, talk about your wishes, etc.
- learn about funerary practices throughout history and around the world
- learn about the meaning of death throughout history and around the world
- listen to songs about death
- read poems, books, plays about death- there’s a lot of them and they’re quite interesting
- watch movies/shows about death (my personal favorite is the seventh seal)
- if able and willing reflect on your own thoughts and feelings on death (can be death in general, about your own mortality, etc.)
- look up cemetery symbols and symbolism! And whenever able do a cemetery scavenger hunt
- wear black
- learn about how to help someone who is grieving
- listen to goth music
- be kind to spirits
- learn about haunted locations
- read ghost stories (idk if this counts but my personal favorite is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)
💤Hypnos💤
- listen to a devotional playlist for Him
- listen to calming soundscapes
- learn about symbolism in dreams
- learn about the stages of sleep
- if able establish and practice good sleep hygiene
- learn about good sleep hygiene
- if unable (or you have a hard time sleeping) look up calming and quiet activities you can do instead
- listen to calming music
- if able make your bedroom into a cozy safe space
- learn about herbs and plants with calming and/or sleep inducing properties
- if able donate some bedding you don’t use anymore (even animal shelters will take some! Bedding is always in high demand in all sorts of places so if you’re needing to unload some this is the chance to do it!)
- learn about our sleep cycles and the circadian rhythm
- if you have young family members (kids, little siblings) tuck them in and/or read them a bedtime story
- if able slow down and rest

Hypnos's energy goes through His devotees.
When your friend sleeps upon your shoulder, that is Hypnos alongside you.
When your partner dreams of you, that is Hypnos with you.
When you wake up to your beloved pet laying on you or near you, that is Hypnos with you.
Hypnos is sleep, Hypnos is dreams
He is personification of concepts, divinity of these things, he is
You face Hypnos in the eyes when you close them with rest on your mind

devotional acts for Lord Hypnos if you don’t have an altar for Him or just want to feel closer to Him:
take a nap!
write about your dreams
create a playlist for Him
draw Him (it’s okay if you’re not good at drawing, He would probably love to see how you depict Him)
sit outside at night and maybe listen to a devotional playlist or read a book or just nothing
learn about symbolism in dreams
learn about sleep stages
listen to calming soundscapes and music
make your bed
just sit down and relax for a bit
