Mostly I'm pretty busy with doing stuff but tonight the Mrs,  myself and the dog are just here. The dog is snoring on it's bed, the  Mrs is on her pad as am I.   Earlier I went out with the dog and it was absolutely silent as it has been for some time of an evening.  No planes in the sky,  no traffic on the road,  no people out at all.  It's weird.  As we sit here there is nothing on the box worth watching so we Just sit.  I can imagine it being similar back in the past.  If it wasn't for electricity and us using out electric goods we would be sat here with me reading a newspaper and her doing some sort of knitting just like back in my fathers day.  Getting up at dawn and going to bed at dark.  I can't bring  myself to playing cards or board games. Still I  can get the guns out and give them a good cleaning another evening.  How is it affecting your lifestyle? 

That’s why family’s were so big back then 3 channels and bed by 10

7-9 hours. I'd die on 4-5.

I do  think a lack of sleep is literally killing me, haven't slept well since I was a young kid.

It's certainly not healthy. I suppose many people just become conditioned to a continual state of sleep deficit and they think that that's all they need. Personally I f***ing hate feeling fatigued, never mind the health aspect. In fact when I know I'm going to have to suffer it I take Modafinil as a temporary fix with the intention of getting back into a proper sleep pattern asap.

 

 

So f**k lamping!

Imho medicating is a very, very bad idea.....eventually your body and brain don’t know what’s “normal” and what isn’t any more.

I always believe that if you are in that sort of state that you require medication for something as normal as sleep or positive feelings then you need to closely re-examine your life and thought processes.

A life style change may be what’s required.

Think about it, if a person is having to medicate to keep doing what they are doing then they shouldn’t be doing it......nature always gives you a clue

I agree it's all to do with your lifestyle, expectations and such. 

Once you start thinking about needing your sleep it's game over, your mind becomes your worst enemy. 

I had a few weeks holiday in March and was put on furlough for 3 weeks straight after and I had the best sleep in years for me.

Spending more time with the family relaxing just put me at ease I guess.

Greb didn't mention meds mate. Was that meant for me?

If it was then I generally agree.

Nothing has realy changed for me and the wife both of us have been working all way through this crisis the first few weeks were stressfull but that was only down to the places we work and when you realise who you work for don't give a f**k about you it makes you more hardend to not giving two feks and just getting on with life though I have seen a few around me crumbling under the pressure this pandemic to ordinary day to day life is causing.

I'm not a good sleeper I prob get  4 hours on average and I'm just used to it now sadly I think it's all.the artificial light and your body not in tune with nature. Best sleeps I ever used to have was winter fishing on my boat dark at 4, eat tea and feels like dead of night by 6 o'clock so go to sleep till just before dawn, used to go home feeling like a million pounds.

Im about 45 -1 up in toy fights so far this lockdown , lost when she got hold of my bad finger and bent it backwards , other than that she’s had some headlocks the last few months . Favourite was when she she dyed her hair and was doing that thing chicks do where they have it in a turban . Had her by the end of the towel and arced her round the kitchen for about twenty mins
