I have to roll difficult concepts around in my head for a while, (sometimes a very long while) before I can grasp them.

I've been wrestling with Schrödinger's cat for ages.

You'll cut yourself one day David.

Sometimes I leave a tiny niche to see if it will be exploited. I'm never disappointed.

I wonder if people would tell me about their sleeping patterns?

For this last few months I have been too tired to say up beyond midnight, but I wake up around 4am and have no further interest in sleeping.

4am is too early to get up so I lie there listening to the radio until about 6am when I usually nod off again. At 7am when it's time to get up I feel like I could sleep forever.


I'm a bit like this as well, must be an age thing.  Sad  I imagine tikay will be along to say that he sleeps like a baby and is up, refreshed and ready for the day at 5am.

If only. My sleep is a bit like Tom's at the moment, though decidedly quieter I would imagine, as he's the GOAT snorer.

I go to bed physically wrecked, usually around midnight, & insta fall asleep, takes no more than 30 seconds & I'm away with the fairies.

But of late, I awake about 2, then 4, then 5 or 6am, when I generally take a trip to the loo to void the old bladder, then I proper fall asleep, deep sleep, & often don't wake until 8am. Pisses me off a treat.

My whole life I've slept well & got up fresh as a daisy at 5 or 6am, but that's all history now.

On that note, I started my first ever "permanent" medication today.

yeah no problem, the medication is just meant to stop multiple nocturnal trips to the toilet, so not uncommon. 

Just a bit of a life stage though as it's the first time I've had a "this isn't going to go away so just take these pills for ever" kind of condition.

In my experience of a similar condition the "rubber gloves" appointment was the nadir - well not so much the appointment but the dread of it.

When I had some heart issues and was retaining water (like a big fat water balloon ready to pop, literally seeping out of me :-) I took some diuretic pills. I don't have any issues with water retention at all these days but have somehow contrived to keep an open prescription for them. So I pop one a night when I'm not going out at about 6, pee like a good un for 4-5hrs and then once I go to bed I never have to get up to have a pee in the night - highly recommended for an uninterrupted sleep.

Take no notice.

Tony is the champion snorer. (and SBD farter for that matter)

He's as grumpy as feck too. One night him, me and another poker player shared a room. My bed on the right, his in the middle and the other bloke on the left. before we went to sleep me and the other bloke re-hashed a few hands from earlier in the evening, then, just as we settled down to sleep old mardy tits sits bolt upright, turns on the light and scream, "Right then, bollocks to sleeping, lets tell fucking bad beat stories all night instead. Come on, guess what he called my re-raise with? Come on, talk you bastards..."

He went on like that for at least an hour, then he went back to snoring and farting.

That looks like it's right up my street.

Don't do any spoilers but tell me, is it true?
