Do stupid questions keep you awake at night ?

You know that feeling ….you are warm and cosy in bed, trying to drift off to sleep, and all that is going through your mind is stupid questions ….. If I’d never had my hair cut, how long would it be now ? Do penguins have knees ? Does grass know it’s green ? Do monkeys know we think they are cheeky ? How many pickled onions, laid end to end , would there be in a mile ? What keeps you awake at night ?

I love the way your mind works. It is even busier than mine! I don’t think things like that that keep me up anymore, but when I was a kid I bet they did. My mind went wild as a child. I think I’m on too much medication for my mind to wander now!

Like Looeyville, thinking about all the stupid things I've done keeps me awake.

No, I definitely have been known to lie awake worrying about things that then seem much less important in the cold light of day, but nothing like that!

I can relate to that being unable to sleep because something is troubling my mind. Usually, when I forgot something to do or thinking what I should cook or bake for a birthday celebration.
