Why is it the darkness of night makes everything more scary?
dear
Yes the darkness makes even little worries in to big ones . I tend to get up and have a cup of tea and watch some recorded tv or do some of my jigsaw - I always have a jigsaw on the go in the winter. Wish I could transport myself back to when I was little , if I woke in the night , I would climb into my mums bed and I would fall sound asleep in her arms
Hi ,
at times like this, do pop into the ‘AWAKE....’ thread, it’s not always busy but there are often folk who will post and are suffering being awake during those dark hours too.... it’s not all doom and gloom, there’s often a bit of humour (sometimes that may be a little dark!)
Hope you get some well deserved sleep
Hugs xxx
