The After 4am thread

[Prevenger17]

I am v tired. I woke up with Shipping Up to Boston playing over and over in my head, and my mind won't stop thinking about coloured shapes that I can't quite fit together. What sort of stuff goes on in other people's heads when you're finding it hard to sleep?

Put on a Bob Ross video. Show called The Joy of Painting.

It's both mesmerising and sleep inducing at the same time.

Works wonders for me.

Bob Ross is great. I always wonder how what he does ends up being a beautiful picture. Like he'll stab the page lightly with some weird colour and it ends up looking exactly like a happy little tree

I think it's probably because he 'beats the devil' out of his brushes when cleaning them. Always makes himself giggle on that bit.

I was dead serious though. Was having trouble sleeping not long ago. The audio of his show puts me out like a light. Watching is far too interesting though...as you say a few swipes of the brush and there's a happy sky and a calm lake.

Cheers, will give it a go. I'm not having trouble sleeping generally, but my head is just all over the shop this morning. It's like a load of different instruments playing completely different songs at the same time, but also the Dropkick Murphys on repeat. So hard to explain. Ease my overactive thoughts Bob

It could be that Jordan Peterson has given you the bad brain aids too. RIP mate.

Now that you mention it, I have a Kermit the Frog voice in my head telling me to dominate women. I hope it's not related

What in the fact that you never sleep!

I fantasise about playing for Everton. That usually does the trick.

Mine aren't. Usually when I'm going through a phase of not being able to sleep very well myself, then they decide to strike up with every ailment.

When you're suffering with a real lack of sleep yet you're about to finally drop off, nothing hits you like, "I've got tummy pains" or "I feel sick".

Then there's the loud, dry coughs that continue right throughout the night or the sporadic sobbing and shrieks because of the ol' nightmares.
