What keeps you awake at night?

[WonderBell99]

I swear, I think of the most random things ever especially at night. They're like shower thoughts but kinda deep.. and when I was in high school until recently, it was studies and homework, lol

[Ευδεμονια]

Probably it’s at least 7-8 years I can’t sleep an entire night without waking me up for random reasons…
Things that keep me awake are, in general:
1 ) work problems (have I did thins thing? Maybe this calculation done 2 years ago was wrong?…);
2 ) things I did in the past and of which I repent (when I went to elementary school I made a schoolmate tripping…);
3 ) sensation of loneliness (sometimes I need a cuddle. So I embrace the cushion);
4 ) things I have to do tomorrow (especially before a trip, a date or an important deadline);
5 ) things I think I should have done but I can’t remember (have I done this thing I don’t remember what it is?).

[WonderBell99]

hahah I totally relate to all of this!😭

I think of all the cringey things I did yonks ago at night and can't sleep.. lol

im really sorry that you feel lonely. Hope you find someone who appreciates you for who you are (and is a good cuddler!) haha

[Ευδεμονια]

I relate! All cringey emerges and repentance at night 😂

Don’t feel sorry, it’s a long story, thanks for your wish ☺️

[MrPickles13]

Studies, work, my own intrusive thoughts, questioning the point of everything, my love of reading. So many damn things but also just the fact I struggle to fall asleep.

[WonderBell99]

Relatable😭

It appears that we share some similar interests. What genre do you usually like to read?

[MrPickles13]

I like to read sorts of historical fiction like Bernard Cornwell's last kingdom series. But I also like factual books and well also fanfiction but mosr of that is has a fair bit of heartwarming sappiness.

[WonderBell99]

I've never heard of that one. I might have to check it out. Thanks for the rec!

[MrPickles13]

No problem. I love reading but also I do use books to escape from reality if I'm honest.

What sort of things do you enjoy reading if you don't mind my asking?

[WonderBell99]

Books are my form of escapism from the grim reality of life... so I totally get where you're coming from

I don't mind at all! I usually read thrillers, science fiction and romance. I'm not really a fan of horror books as much as movies.

[MrPickles13]

I like horror films but they kinda bore/amuse me more as I find them predictable. I've never really got into thrillers or sci fi tho there are a few I want to read. I have had to bam myself from going into bookstores.

I tend to lookm at fanfiction with those sort of romance themes.

[WonderBell99]

You should totally check out some thrillers. I have some recommendations if you want.

I find bookstores rather calming and peaceful.. the smell of books is the best lol

[MrPickles13]

I agree but I then buy books I don't have the space for at the moment. A few years back I ended up in one as I was off work but got kicked out the hotel and ended up buying 2 books.

Yeah I'll happily take any recommendations you have. I'll also give you one there is a last kingdom TV show don't watch it.

[WonderBell99]

I usually go to bookstores with my dad.. he gets annoyed because I take a longggg time to select and buy them. I usually read the first few pages to see if it’s interesting and then buy them, but he’s impatient lol.

You should try getting a library membership. It’s quite useful if you read a lot of books. It also saves you some money and space.

[WonderBell99]

I absolutely adore Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewel. I recommend this to almost every book lover I meet.. lol. Check this one if you’re into thrillers

[MrPickles13]

I will check that one out.

That's why I have a audible account for when I'm driving and that and also saves on space. I do have a Kindle but I prefer an actual book. And sadly there aren't any nearby libraries. But I do have a life goal that when I am able to move out I want to have my own small library which is like 1000 books to count. I have about 100 physical books.

[WonderBell99]

That sounds like a good goal. I hope you have your own personal library one day! It sounds very cool. 😊

[MrPickles13]

Yeah at home library lots of shelves full or books, ideally lighting that can be controlled from a remote, speakers for music or just to be able to relax with an audio book and a very comfy recling arm chair what more do you need. Would be nice to be alone but I also think it could make a perfect day with someone relaxing and reading. As you can tell thee is a reason for my sort of like of the sappy books.

[WonderBell99]

Sappy books are the best sometimes.. lol. They’re my guilty pleasure tbh😂. Some are very badly written, but it’s enjoying to read them

[MrPickles13]

Yeah they are a guilty pleasure of mine probably doubly so as well I can't really amdit it. I like to read them tho they do make me jealous ar times.

[WonderBell99]

I get jealous of fictional characters too… lol. They seem to have the best, non complicated, most exciting life ever. Sometimes, I wish I were a fictional character having not a care.

I’m sure you’ll find someone who loves you for who you are soon enough, don’t worry! (:

[MrPickles13]

Yeha I do as well at times it's why I like to hide in books.

Thank you I'm sure you will as well you know.

[WonderBell99]

Thank you, appreciate your kind words. 😊

[MrPickles13]

I appreciate yours more then I can ever express well so thank you very much.

It's been nice to talk to someone who gets it about books and all that as well you know.

[WonderBell99]

It’s been very nice talking to you as well.. I think we’ve talked before, right? I might be wrong, but you seem very familiar

[MrPickles13]

Yes I do believe so. I couldn't say when we did but I'm very sure we have talked before.

[WonderBell99]

Oh yeah, it's been great talking to you tho. Always nice to meet a fellow bookworm! :)

[MrPickles13]

Yeah it really is it appears less and less like books now a days.

[WonderBell99]

Yep, it's sad. People are missing out on some good stuff

[MrPickles13]

Yeah that really is the sad truth.

[WonderBell99]

Yep.

[ohsheeT]

My thoughts are all x-rated LOL now there's many things in the last past month that has kept me awake I don't understand it because like you said they're just random thoughts but I've always been that way I feel things that I see things different than most people and if something happened during my day where I felt something it comes back to me at night everything comes back to me tonight if I was to talk to you and depending on the chat that we had I would start thinking about you at night I would probably have a dream but it's very weird the last past month I have not been able to sleep good at all as a matter of fact I've been looking for somebody to chat with because I really need to go to sleep but I just got too many things going on in my mind there are a couple things that I can do to help me sleep but I would rather have help with one of them LOL but anyway yeah a lot of things dude

[ohsheeT]

A lot of things do not dude

[Lucifer_01]

Me, my life, My girlfriend, how i care for everybody but nobody cares, how I get betrayed by people, what will my next move, what should've done. am I matter in this world, should I die, how everybody react when I die, what happen after death, what is death, should I watch porn now, should I watch cartoon, I m hungry, I m sleepy but don't wanna sleep, how my life will if I married with my girl best friend, and recently 'how my best friend fuck with my girlfriend?'

[DenizLikesTennis]

I feel you so much and I am battling with much worse which are negative thoughts of bad experience. I have been victim to racism too.

Attending therapy very soon. My preferences have changed. Things will be better😊

[DenizLikesTennis]

It takes me like 2 hours to fall asleep😂

[WonderBell99]

Do you want me to beat anyone up? I'm really sorry that you have been a victim of racism. It sucks. I absolutely abhor hateful people (that includes racists) with burning passion. I have no sympathy or respect for those types of people.

[dustybiker]

Pain or discomfort. If it’s racing thoughts, writing them down usually does the trick to rid them. otherwise I sleep like the dead. It’s really hard to wake me.

[WonderBell99]

I'm a heavy sleeper as well! 😂

[LexiXide]

Watching dream also did you know that if you can't sleep at night for some reason it's because you're active in someone else's dream

[WonderBell99]

lol, that's kinda funny

[Fireguy17]

The ghosts running around in my head.
Too many years of bad calls.
Something can happen to trigger them, or I've been so busy it is hard to shut down at night.

[WonderBell99]

Virtual hugs 🤗💛

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Worrying about what in the morning and what the day will be like makes me stay up at night sometimes but there are times I'm awake and can't sleep.

[WonderBell99]

oh no, im really sorry about that. im sure today will be a great day for you! dont worry 💛

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@wonderbell99 Thank you well the bathroom floor was wet and I took a fall off the toilet well it happened so I got to grab a hold of myself and hope to feel better, thanks for your encouraging words <3

[WonderBell99]

oh damn, that sounds terrible. i hope you feel ok now. stay safe and take care!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@wonderbell99 Thank you so much for your encouraging words

[Sour-rose]

my. fuckin'. teeth. :')

My crown last night was screaming, making me not able to sleep. Many times I've had my teeth wake me up in the middle of sleep to scream "SOMETHIN IS WRAOOOOONGG" making me hope it'll stop for the love of god, I need to go to work in the morning. Dx

that or i drank 5 glasses of milk and i'm gassed up.

[MemeSupreme]

it varies. sometimes a night can be a roller coaster of emotions or it can be linear. perhaps i start the night in bed thinking about bad childhood shit and by the end of it im laughing at a funny moment i had with friends in 8th grade. sometimes i think about one thing the entire time for 3 hours until i fall asleep 🤷‍♀️

[Lionman95]

For me it´s mostly situation where I messed up or bad stories I heard before going to sleep. Also self-doubts are high in this ranking or sometimes it´s stupid thoughts.
Like why has anyone ever thought if bald and bold are connected in anyway? Like have the people that came up with the word bold been all bald and just misspelled or the other way round?

[vald9inches]

I think i used to be like that but to be honest I have always been a very deep thinker all the time so even when i was awake i would think about all kinds of crazy things lol

[WonderBell99]

being a deep thinker is cool tho :)

[vald9inches]

Oh trust me i wouldn't trade for the world! Lol

[vald9inches]

What do you think about or what keeps you up at night? Feel free to follow me too if you like! 😊

[WonderBell99]

it's usually just random stuff tbh. varies everyday 😂

[LavLavLuv]

Mostly thinking about embarrassing or funny things in my life.. Sometimes some sad shit too

[Th3ft]

Oh! That’s sad! I do it too though! All the embarrassing things all the things I wish had gone differently… all the things.

[WonderBell99]

samesies!😭

[Blueeyes81]

Insomnia. Don't ever fuck with your circadian rhythm.

[WonderBell99]

Wise words to live by!

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Thinking about how weekends go by way too fast while school days feel like half the year.

[WonderBell99]

I felt the same way when I was in school. Time flies by fast!

[TrillXHippy]

I really have trouble sleeping and it’s been for the longest

[WonderBell99]

I'm sorry about that :/

[Aiko_E_Lara]

My body has a hard time relaxing. Im in pain chronically.

[WonderBell99]

damn, I'm sorry to hear that.. hugs🤗

[Aiko_E_Lara]

*Hugs* TY!

[NewsReader]

The stock market / economy. It's so unpredictable. My money is always at risk.

[Jacobbbb]

Sometimes deep thoughts, like the intrusive ones that you don't want 😅 that's mainly it. It doesn't really happen that much nowadays but it definitely used to

[DarkWinterNights]

My pet cat I lost earlier this year. Haven’t slept normally since.

[convo_king89]

There are some night I’m browsing my phone cuz I have insomnia or just horny and have to jack off.

[Anonymous]

my friends that live across the world and want to play games while I should be sleeping. 😵

[WonderBell99]

lmfao

[Opinion Owner]

*sigh*. that's just the price I pay, for being so fun to hang out with I guess. Er'body wanna be around me all the time. 🤴

[Hell_boy]

Those fucking random thoughts, which made a chain of negative thoughts about past and future, whether it's real or not, often we call it 'overthinking', are the sleep suckers at night😓

[Kaneki05]

Not been able to cuddle someone. Been that way since my ex years ago.

[AsaKyo]

My cat always shoving her ass in my face while I'm trying to get situated

[douride2]

If I could figure that out I would be a sleep.

[ArtemisSilver]

Getting to into a good book.

[WonderBell99]

awesome!

[Likes2drive]

Usually things that I have to do the next day

[WonderBell99]

nice!

[jimmy2]

I am a long hauler and some of us have insomnia and it really bad for me. I lay down at 10 pm and I look at clock at it 3am 4 or 530 am

[maximumpower]

Neighbors' barking dogs.
