I’m not up early. I haven’t been to bed yet. I almost never consume caffeine in the evening….except tonight. Oh…be sure to watch “Girl in the Basement” sometime.

Googled “The Girl” and there seems to be 973,528 movies about The Girl trapped or in peril or kidnapped or being tortured or whatever other awful variation you can imagine. Also, I did see The Girl in the Basement and it’s as horrifying as it sounds.
I've been like this for more than a month now...mainly cuz my dogs refuse to understand/accept daylight savings time no matter how hard i try to explain it to them.
Pretty much the only time I see a sunrise is if I haven't been to bed yet. It's what happens when you've worked 2nd and 3rd shift your whole life. 🤷🏻♀️
I went to bed about midnight thinking I was going to sleep well. Wrong again. No caffeine since my heart attack, but 2 hours at a time is my limit. Awake 3 times and back asleep. I finally got up because the cats stare at me to be fed. I'm up for good now.
Man, I am lucky to have a good amount of help with my son. My husband and I work opposite schedules to avoid daycare expenses. I often think about my friends in high how had babies young with no help physical or financially. Kudos to you Dad! This shit is hard, and we need to support families
I also have a mother in law with Alzheimer’s. I had so much hope for the support a Harris and Democratic Congress could bring to games in the US and now I’m just numb
My body is still on Daylight Saving Time, so I’ve wake up every morning at 4:30. Three days a week it’s okay because I work part time, but it really blows up my four day weekends.
Just go with it. My body switched up on me about a year ago after a job I had required that I wake up at 2am to be to work by 4am. Now I can NOT sleep past 3:30-4:30. Like, ever. I try. So to get enough hours, I'm in bed by 7:30. I'm okay with it. Get more done, and my city is asleep @ that time.
Woke up at 4am, tossing & turning Still so damn angry about the election.I keep hoping some revelation is going to change everything but everyday is another disappointment as the Dictator lines up his Oligarchs to destroy our democracy.
Omg! I just watched it based on your recommendation and I am a bundle of nerves. My heart pounded the whole time and I kept bursting into tears and as an empath that was so hard to watch but since it’s a true story everyone should see how brave and resilient people are. I needed that
One of my puppy mill mama rescues gets me up every night, anywhere from 1:30-4:00am or my bladder - I’m not sure.
I watch a sitcom rerun while she’s out so I don’t think about how F***ed our country is & maybe I can get back to sleep.
Following overseas news keeps me up. Can’t do coffee past 4pm ever. My floofy marmalade cat knew I needed to sleep in so draped himself on my ribcage, a real Diva. I actually dozed with 16 lbs of floof riding my breaths. That’s a morning workout, right? 😂
I'm up early as usual, 3am. I'm going to watch "Girl in the Baement"! Also looking forward to watching “Separated”: Film Shows How Trump Tore Immigrant Families Apart, 1,300 Kids Still Alone
I won’t rest until someone with much larger influence (and wallet) than I has either filed a civil lawsuit to enforce 14.3 or convinced Biden to break protocol and appoint 4 SCOTUS justices before we lose the Senate.
Hi, we partnered on twitter/x
Girl in the Basement,
always looking for something recommended.
You knew me on twitter/x in an old time prison outfit, behind bars.
where can I find that selection you mentioned?
Thank you, in advance.
I am a firm believer in getting solid sleep every night. Nothing is more important to my mental health than sleeping. Of course there are other components to staying sane, but sleeping is definitely #1. No caffeine for me after 10am, ever.
I don't drink coffee..I crush it up and snort it. Haven't slept in 3 months..so I sold my bed and bought a torture rack..it keeps me sane when I get stretched.
I think it’s more than late night caffeine right now. So many people saying the same ‘can’t settle’ thing lately.
The world is churning and not in a good way.
I still watch the morning news, but skip the first 20 minutes of each hour. That way I don't have to hear That Voice. (Sorry - I know I just made you hear it in your head a little bit).
I know what you mean. I’m very afraid. I’m 58, and I’m not sure how this election is going to affect my retirement. I may well work until I die. I’m afraid for all women, and minorities. I’m just…scared. Very hard to sleep.
Good morning , Stay positive if you can. The media tries to make us think he can do what he wants, But he can't. Thank goodness we have 3 Branches of government, one of course is questionable
I don’t try to go back to sleep anymore. My mother always told me the body knows. She also said no one ever died from a lack of sleep although I may prove her wrong!🤣
I play audible. My current favorite is John Le Carre, reading a collection of his stories. I set the timer for 1 hour. It takes about 20 minutes, and I am sound asleep. 😴Tip: Never choose a fast-paced novel.😲
Same here. But I’ve discovered that middle of the night social media is a completely different animal from daytime social media. I meet more different people and see different points of view than during the standard 8 to 5.
The only time I consume caffeine later in the day is when I am in Vegas or Laughlin. Otherwise I cut myself off. I have enough trouble sleeping. Saw you around in the wee hours as I was also up
Horrifying. That movie is loosely based on Josef Fritzl the Austrian guy who held his daughter captive in an underground dungeon he designed himself to prevent escape, the investigators referred to it as “House of Horrors”. She gave birth to a bunch of his children down there. Awful.
4:44am and I’m still awake. I couldn’t sleep so I downloaded Bluesky and decided to run amok on the internet. My insomnia is going to be EVERYBODY’s problem.
OMG, I was horrified just watching the trailer for Girl/Basement on IMDB! Made me want to crawl out of my skin. Don't think I could sit through the whole thing.
Hello fellow insomniacs! Sorry I missed this when I initially woke up at 3:40 this morning, but I'm sure I'll be here again tomorrow morning entirely too early.

What’s keeping you up?
Looks like insomnia is once again going to be my constant companion.

3 hours last night
Duvet day today 😌
The world is churning and not in a good way.
And sadly? No hot chocolate either. This getting old thing is not for the faint of heart.
Little things creep through, but it's been a refreshing break.
Added it to my list.
I'll nap later.
So good and also wretchedly heartbreaking. ❤️🩹
Title game.
And now off to find Girl in the Basement...
