Wednesday 12th September - Thought For Today

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.

    Being an irregular insomniac, I’d never get any sleep if I did this!

    I sleep so little anyway.. However, sometimes just laying in bed and daydreaming works for me…

    Hi, Dorothy, I do the daydreaming thing too and eventually fall asleep where the daydream becomes a genuine dream, then I wake up hours later. Do you nap in the daytime? I work a morning shift and when I leave work there are jokes about me going home for my “nanny nap”. I sleep for about 1 1/2 -2 hours really deeply and wish I could sleep as deeply at night.

    Liv - It is a tried and true method for me, if I can’t sleep I make myself get up and do something useful. It works fairly well.. ;)

    Flametree - I used to be an insomniac myself, but it seems to be getting better lately..

    Dorothy - Sort of like the old counting sheep thing, except making up a story? Yeah that works for me too as long as recurring thoughts don’t get in the way.

    River - my parents have big long nanna naps. ;) They are regularly up at 5am as a result of that. I think they’re loony, somewhat. ;)
