MargieH 7,617 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 @Gem When that happens to me and my thoughts just keep going round in a loop, I get up, find a comfy chair and find some boring, rubbish film to watch on the TV. After about an hour or so, I start dropping off to sleep, so I go back to bed and then quickly fall asleep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I followed your advice Margie, comfy chair and an absolutely rubbish film the only problem was I fell asleep in the chair!!!!. I did get a good night's sleep so thank you.

MargieH 7,617 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 @Gem I sometimes fall asleep in the chair as well! I reckon sleep is sleep wherever you are sitting/lying, so it doesn't worry me at all.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,240 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I consider sleep to be the ‘natural’ state. Being awake and facing the day is usually a pain in the backside! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I cannot sleep if there is any noise whatsoever in the background, nor if there is any light. I envy those who can listen to the radio and drop off to sleep. Always been the same and I don't suppose it will change now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,240 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I go to bed listening to an ‘intellectual’ programme on Radio 4 with the timer set for one hour. Five minutes of ‘intellectual’ and I’m sound asleep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm always jealous of people who can sleep in places like on trains, buses, waiting rooms etc. I can't sleep in public. Frightened of missing something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The phrase fall asleep on a washing line originates to when boarding houses were full and workmen sat on a bench and leaned on a low washing line strung in front of the bench, this was to get more people in the boarding house and it was also cheaper.

Frightened of missing something. ...or is the reason for some people not wanting to sleep in public because they are worried that they might start to snore or their mouth might drop open and people will laugh? Sometimes I can't get to sleep straightaway because I start thinking.... "Where do I go to when I'm asleep? "Do I really want to go to sleep and not be in control of my body?" "If I go to sleep, how do I know I'll wake up again? "I'll stay awake as long as I can and try and be aware of the exact moment when I do fall asleep" And sometimes I don't think of these stupid questions at all, and I'm asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow!!
