Tuesday morning is here—a fresh chance to make the most of the week! Speaking of making the most of our time, have you ever found yourself wide awake in the middle of the night, looking for something to do? Maybe you reorganised your pantry, went down an internet rabbit hole, or, in one pet owner's case… gave their cat a bath! I came across this video where someone did just that, and the cat was surprisingly calm. You can watch the video here:

Lay awake wondering if I’d win
the emoji competition. I didn’t @ChristineH

I put a torch on My lawn mower and mowed the lawn at 2am, we live in a rural area and no neighbours for 500 metres, had a shower and slept like a log

I have always been a good sleeper and rarely have insomnia, so when I do I get really p***ed off. I can’t just lie there getting more and more irritated so usually get up and read. However on one occasion I was so antsy, I cleaned my fridge at 2.00 am. I must say it was really nice to see the sparkling shelves and everything inside so neatly arranged when I got up to have breakfast!

Haha lucky you weren’t bitten by a snake! I wish an insomniac would mow my lawn at 2am! What a lovely surprise that would be in the morning!

To all the sleepyheads …

What do you get with an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac?

Aww But no worries! You can still try your luck in this week's competition!

You could do that easily at night with a battery operated mower. Very quiet & much cooler at night.

What I do when I can't sleep, is to get up, make a cup of coffee, drink it while playing some of my games on my tablet....
Then I go back to bed and usually go straight off to sleep.
Works for me.

I get up make a cup of coffee or go on the internet watching You Tube video's and one night I sat up at 3am till 5 am with my hobby of noodling (Inspecting) through rolls of coins (Coin collecting) looking for errors, low mintage and commemorative coins.
