The seeds do not fall asleep, just lay them on the surface at a distance of 1 cm from each other , slightly pressing into the soil. Sprinkle the crops from a spray bottle and cover the box with glass.

Some varieties germinate even longer. When the green shoots do not remove the glass, otherwise they will die from the change of air humidity. Just move the boxes in a bright place.
