It's no annoying when you can't sleep, isn't it.
Once I do drop off,  I will usually sleep until morning (other than the loo),   but it's the initial dropping off that eludes me.
My back pain is one problem because I can't get always comfortable.   Also,  thinking about what I will do the next day is another.

I have never had a telly in my bedroom,  because anything 'stimulating' would probably stay on my mind for a while.   Guns and murders -  like 99% of American films are -  or certainly anything scary and creepy is a big No no, too.

Reading something nice in bed is something I've always done,  and I usually read until my eyes start drooping,  then I turn off the light and lie down.   Sometimes I drift off quickly,  but other nights I can still be awake a couple of hours later,  and that is really annoying.   Then come morning I feel like I could sleep for a week!

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 08:01:40 AMPerhaps their military is not so brave when it comes to attacking other muslims ?  I dunno just a thought.....

Yes, I can believe that.  Religion is still a very strong lever, especially in the Third World.  It still holds a lot of leverage, even here in the UK, and I'm referring to our own religion, Christianity, despite our so-called King apparently leaning heavily toward Islam.

I was brought up in the CofE and later joined the choir in Bradford Cathedral, where I was confirmed.  Shortly afterwards, Marge and I went to live and work in Saudi Arabia, a muslim state.  Being present there did nothing to persuade me to become a muslim, but similarly, I had lost any interest in Christianity and the CofE. 

It's simply a realisation that, apart from many people claiming to believe in a supernatural being, who goes under different names and represents widely differing religions, I can't accept that religion generally is nothing more than a human invention with widely differing gods and also rules, of course.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 08:52:15 AMUltrasound this morning on my throat..
Sunshine... chilly..

Best of luck with the ultrasound, Scrumps.  

My heating has come on in the mornings for the last 2 or 3 days,  so it must have been chilly overnight.
Still haven't changed the duvet,  but I have a feeling it won't be long now.
What tog is your winter duvet?  Mine is 13.

Yes,  I liked him.   He did some good songs didn't he.
