Who else can't sleep?
Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

- SoldierCrabMemberWhile going through chemo we lived in a house with a combustion heater so I would write my thoughts while the night time sleeplessness was upon then promptly burn it the next day....
- RomlaMember@kmakm I find downloading on paper what’s buzzing around my mind helps clear my head and provides reassurance that it will be there in the morning so I can relax and hopefully sleep.Its a good strategy- used it the other night when chewing over how to explain a maths concept to my son. Re getting shitty stuff out you don’t have to keep or reread it - it allows venting without downloading on anyone else - either because no one else is around or would serve no positive purpose .
- kmakmMemberWell done @JJ70! You and @AllyJay sure do lead the pack for productivity in the wee small hours o:) I've written a few cancer poems during some sleepless nights, but in the light of day they're frightful!! Still, they do get a bit of the shitty stuff out of my head so I suppose that's something.
