In [another thread](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/do-you-consider-monkey-island-games-not-made-by-ron-non-canon/373/34?u=someone) there was the suggestion to create a new thread where people can meet if they can’t sleep. Here we go. 🙂 Feel free to talk why you can’t sleep or other things (for example why you are sitting in front of a computer on a Saturday night where everybody else goes on parties…). ---

You need to do something to distract your mind. How about saying a few new Italian words? _se hai sonno vai dal nonno_ (If you are asleep go to your grandfather) It doesn’t mean anything, it just rhymes 😁 ---

I was thinking recently that we should have a thread for when people can’t sleep. I go through phases of insomnia so it’d be nice to have somewhere to spit crap. But, y’know, I don’t want to be the only one in there. ---

I have insomnia too, especially _on horse\*_ between winter and spring. _\*period of time including the ending of the first bit and the beginning of the second one_ ---

Loving all these phrases 😄 that’s interesting though - I never thought about whether different times of year are worse. ---

Yeah it was really just me noticing the Mon not Ron non can on syllables in the title and playing around a bit with the words trying to use _some_ sort of meter. And of course you could have skipped everything and jumped to that conclusion right ahead but you still took the time to try to analyse every line.😜 ---

I wouldn’t say that. The more vague a title is the more possibilities are therein. I think a problem we have is that many titles are really really specific (for instance “Games bought during the steam summer sale 2017” quickly turned into “games I recently bought”). ---
