Whilst i don't suffer from insomnia, i usually take a few hours to get to sleep every night. I have an daft crush on a filmstar and sometimes try to pass the time having a fantasy about him Blush...but for some reason i can never get to any good parts cos my sane mind keeps butting in and saying "this scenario would never happen, not realistic enough" or "if you're going to pretend to be a doctor you should throw a 'Casualty' scene in before turning your attention to filmstar" Grin Before i know it, i've gone into so much detail pretending to save a pretend patient, that i've fallen asleep. AIBU to think my boring sane mind should just butt out?

LOL.

Who is the daft crush on, then we can see if you are silly by daydreaming about other things for two hours before getting to the good bit!

BTW I often put in ludicrous detail into my going-to-sleep daydreams too.

Lol, I don't know if you are BU but you're not alone! The times I've tried those kind of daydreams, my sane mind says "but how did you get to know him? You'd hardly meet someone like that and he'd immediately fall in love with you" etc, so then I have to start at the beginning and dream up a scenario in which, not only would I meet this adorable man, but be able to spend enough time with him for him to somehow fall in love with a fat, ageing single mother.

Good, i'm glad its not just me!! Grin...i've even tried a couple of different people to see if it makes any difference, but no, i'm still stuck creating back stories and mitigating circumstances on how we met, etc. It usually swings between Aidan Turner (Mitchell from Being Human) or Tom Hardy.

Write a book!

You are NOT alone, I never get to the good bits either.

I had a full on fantasy about Alexander Scarsgard the other day and could not get past the detail.

In my fantasy I never even got to meet him. Sad

You need to smoke a big fat spliff and just focus on the cock element

blimey you should do this in the afternoon not at night where it could bugger up your sleep Grin

Lol at cock element Grin

Well, since it makes you fall asleep - job done. Grin

I also fantasise to get to sleep.

Mine is that there is a witch who is standing by the bed, and I have to pretend to be asleep or she will be able to kill me. There are strict rules she must adhere to, she cannot touch me or do anything that would wake me up, but if I show signs of being awake, she can get me. Furthermore, she knows I am actually awake, but she can't prove it and she is really really pissed off.

I have been doing this since I was a child.

Hmm
