To all insomniacs. Just curious

[Dita73]

Have any of you who struggle to sleep like me,put the tv on and have actually bought a memory foam mattress or a steam cleaner?! We seem to be their main demographic

I’m a terrible insomniac. I don’t put the tv on but have made some pretty random internet purchase at 3am! I do recommend the calm app sleep stories - they can be quite helpful in getting me back to sleep.

Got one of those mop things 😂.

I did buy a huge pizza oven once late at night after a 🍷 or two, when it arrived I saw the size of the box and just thought what was I thinking - didn’t even open it.

This thread is hilarious 😂.

The mattress ad does make me laugh though. At one point they’ve got cups of tea or bowls of water or something on one side of it and on the other side a woman is jumping up and down without the water tipping to show no matter how restless you are,you won’t disturb your partner! Can you imagine being that actress? She thinks she’s got a tv job and they say to her “could you jump up and down and go a bit batshit on that mattress but don’t knock anything over whatever you do”! Poor woman! 😂

Nobody can be that sustained in their enthusiasm over Tupperware for hours on end unless they are hopped up on mind altering substances or under severe duress, surely?

One desperate night I was nearly convinced that lettuce could stay fresh for 4 months if I just ordered their 600 piece set for 5 instalments of £99.99. But given that insomnia fuels my nighttime sales tv watching I’m guessing that hedging towards the air mattress lifestyle would be more sensible than the clean floor / long life lettuce lifestyles. So many important decisions to be made at 3 am.

No.
But I believe that I am a fully qualified murder detective as I have vast knowledge of forensic evidence collection, how the psychopaths mind works and gruesome murders that shocked Britain since the 1950’s.

So, that’s how I spend my “night shifts”.

🤣

No shopping TV as no actual TV, but your posts are making me feel like I need one - and with my insomniac shopping compulsion, I'm quite likely to do it!

I can't even remember how much stuff I've bought tonight (well, last night but I'm still awake so it doesn't feel finished). There's definitely a yoga mat in there, an air purifier, a multipack of coffee pods and some pliers ... That was my Christmas budget, FFS!

Still, I can force myself through my sleep-deprived days with strong coffee, fresh air and stretches. And pliers??

... Must not look at televisions ... 😬

Oh dear god, I can’t even overhear the narrator’s voice on those real crime stories at 3am without chills running up my spine and the overwhelming sensation that my cellphone will ring and I will realise it is from my landline.

Safety is found in steaming mop sales.

True crime. True crime is the way to go.
No money crosses palms, just good old fashioned mass murder.

OMG, air fryer fryer fryer is followed by air mattress, I hope someone jumps on it.

TV would keep me awake, although I understand watching it to kill the boredom. Spent about an hour browsing SM last night when I was bored, though. Several films I won't go see because cost is crazy.
