How many hours do you sleep ?

[quincunx]

Apparently it is bollocks that we are ok on less sleep and 8 hours minimum has better benefits on the body and mind. Thing is after working all day I cba having only a couple of hours in the evening before having to sleep so I stay up as long as possible.

the longer you sleep the longer you live.

there's no need to get your bottom out.

really?
i do that too.
i didn't know anyone else did that.
(not the flying bit, my thing is levitating, haha)

during the dream sometimes something happens (like maybe someone who died many years ago turns up) and so i realise it's a dream and say to myself but you're dead so this is a dream.

and, of course, you cannot die in a dream, your brain simply will not allow it, so you can do whatever you want without fear.
sadly i usually end up running around looking for a woman to try to steal a kiss from instead of doing something extraordinary like fly.

i suspect it's only a restful mind that can appreciate and play along with the dreamtime.
having the calm mindfulness to immediately concentrate on the memories of a dream once you've woken, to think it through without letting your brain wander off into real-life bollox, and to then be able to actually allow/convince your brain to sleep again and to return to that dream and carry it on is such an amazing thing.

(my physio, andy (thorpey) thorpe, ex-stockport captain and thoroughly nice fella says he, like you, can fly in his dreams)

The flying is sort of controlled by breathing and concentrating, sometimes I don't seem to do it right and can barely get off the ground.
Another weird thing is a lot of dreams are in the same places that are instantly familiar when I'm there, but not when I wake up.

Weirdly the older I get the more sleep I seem to need, I am easily getting about 10 hours a day I have heard of the mythical beasts that get up before the sun comes up but as yet have never seen one on bluemoon.

Get up
Go for a piss
Roll the newspaper into knots
Put the faggots on the fire
Bang some coal out of the shuttle onto kindling stew and set fire to it.

After fucking about with an open broadsheet newspaper wafting at the fire have a cough and enjoy your handiwork.

After all that nonsense you will understand why people got up at ungodly hours in the days before central heating and flushable inside toilets ;)

I used to have to get up, light the fire and dry my piss soaked sister out in front of it.

My mate had a piss alarm that woke the house up 3 times a night, it was like a family of zombies.
