Sleep was tricky.

Once Dean explained, Castiel tried counting sheep, but just found it boring. He stared at the ceiling all night.

The next afternoon, the Winchesters returned from a hunt. Sam said he looked tired. Castiel explained the problem.

Sam smiled. “We can help with that,” he murmured, and performed the human ritual of pressing mouth to mouth.

Dean was grinning over Sam’s shoulder, and then he performed the ritual, too.

As it turned out, that was only the beginning.

Waking up warm between the Winchesters the next morning, Castiel thought that perhaps sleep wasn’t so difficult, after all.
