Hello @MJG017, are you struggling to sleep tonight or just not ready for sleep yet?
My brain is in overdrive, it's just great fun.

The plan was to sleep, but as you can see it's not going very well. Maybe it means when I do finally get to sleep, I won't wake up at 3 or 4am and start to worry enought to keep me up.
It is fun isn't it. It makes you wonder what we'd do without the endless entertainment during the night! 🤪

@MJG017 yeah it's not going well for me either. At least with daylight savings ending we are supposed to gain an hours sleep, not that it's ever noticeable 😂. The worrying sucks, hopefully once you do sleep you won't wake up at some silly hour with worry.
I was watching a TV show but I got bored so thought I'd see what was happening on the forums. Surprised there's still a few people awake. I need that magic off switch tonight.

I completely forgot about daylight savings ending. How annoying! It's going to mess me up for the rest of the week
I think I just am hesitant to go to sleep because I know I'll wake up in the middle of the night and maybe because I'm not wide awake and alert, the worries get a chance to get past the 'dustraction filters' and I start to feel panicked. It just seems to happen most nights now. We seriously need to find that damn switch!!

@MJG017 i know right, daylight savings messes me up too. So does hearing noises outside my window.
That's fair, there's been alot happening for you lately. Wish i could take some of that worry away for you. But know I'm here if you need to chat and usually I'm awake at all sorts of silly hours. My distraction filters are well and truly broken. Really want to know where they are hiding that switch 😂
