Please help!! My monstera leaves have been sagging and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I thought maybe he didn’t get enough artificial lights from the lamps I have so I moved him near the window. I watered him last probably a week ago.

Monstera leaves droop most commonly due to either overwatering or underwatering, meaning the soil is either too wet or too dry; other potential causes include low humidity, incorrect temperature, too much direct sunlight, pest infestations, or a rootbound plant in a pot that's too small for its size

it looks like he needs a good drink, but check thr soil to make sure its dry.  
ovrrwatering is almost always accompanied by yellowing leaves, which is why i just think hes thirsty. the combo of heat and the terracotta pot could be drying out the soil faster than normal :)

It looks like it's maybe on the heater? If that top part isn't hot, it still might be too close to the dry heated air.

I see you have a moss stick in the plant. How long ago did you put that in your plant? I placed one in my plant about three weeks ago and my leaves are drooping, as well.
