Night Owls (for those awake late and can't sleep)

Dear All
The purpose of this thread is as a meeting point for those that can’t sleep and it is late (I.E. AFTER midnight.)

It can be a useful space for users to share their issues with insomnia as well as coping strategies. It can also be a general space for users to converse and support one another throughout a difficult night.

Please note – for those that are just bored or lonely we already have a place - the BB Café, which I recommend instead of here

Is anyone awake? I'm in a talking mood which can be rare for me. If anyone's up I'm here

Ahh , they throw everything onto the childhood heap em , load of bs.

l know exactly what it is it's an esp thing l get it with many other things too and you probably do also.Some people just have very strong senses with either some things or many things or sometimes only one particular thing. But hey , like l was sayin it's pretty well useless though what l really need is to be about to see the lotto numbers haha still , it has saved my life a few tines so at least that's something.

Hiya mb , that's nice to hear hope you can find something happening around the place or somewhere. You could always do a rant if not eh.

Hey Tay! I'm probably heading to bed soon, it's been a long week and with the flooding here, I have a busy weekend ahead! xxxx

Hey rx.... it was more to do with radios being played alot when we were children lol... nothing to do with a "bad childhood experience" or anything like that.
The theory shared was that radios played alot back then and, with that, things like "News on the hour" and on the half hour too.

Subliminally children were kind of "set" to a clock.
SO they internalised the time.
If you know what I mean?

I know my parents had their radio on alot when I was little, when I came to Australia anyway.
Not where I was born.

Just a theory, nothing magical or mental health based.

EMxxxx

Haa that's funny , but nah no radios fpr me.

Heya mb , we're not gonna worry about one wittle x are we . l'm not bad thx, not good but at least not bad either l suppose right. How are you doin ok .

It is now just after 1:30am. My mind just keeps thinking and thinking. I would love it to be plain blank. Wouldn't that be nice.

Not sure what surgery you had Mark, but I do hope you wake up rested. Everyone actually. Think I have forgotten what that feels like. Nope no I haven't... It feels refreshing and you can bounce out of bed, rather then forcing your body to move.

Maybe I am just waffling here.
