The "I can't sleep" thread

Don’t all dogs think that?

Why else would they so passionatly lick their owners faces?

I believe Elephants also kill without the intention to eat. As do several other species. It´s a common myth among some vegetarians/vegans they like to repeat that humans are the only carnivorous species who kill without the need to survive.

I’ve heard that, if you lie very still and pretend you’re dead, some dogs will panic and bark for help. So you’re telling me that their bark actually means this?

"SUPPER TIME FRIENDS, HUMAN IS ON THE MENU!"

(Oops, I think this thread was supposed to help people sleep, not keep them awake) :laughing:

the dog is supposed to say I love you, but still it seems quite the opposite…

That´s both the weirdest thing I saw since the “Oh long Johnson” cat and the cutest since the waving bear.

Two things are certain within an online discussion: sooner or later you will talk about Nazism or cute animals.

Why not both?

Let’s stop it here. I wouldn’t want @Calypso to split the thread into “pictures of cute animals with nazi references”.

But maybe they help other people to get sleepy? Cute animals could be very calamari calming!

Eh? Excuse me? Greatest.Thread.Ever.

Today there was a (female) doctor in the German TV with tips for those who can’t sleep. These tips were/are serious ones:

  • Drink a beer
  • Eat nuts
  • Drink a warm almond milk

I wish you all a “Prosit gute Nacht” or for our English speaking audience: a happy good night…

Former actress Marianne Koch?

I heard that too before. It´s actually pretty tasty, I like it. But it´s also really expensive.

Hi… so you’re awake, too…

Is it any different from the Daylight Saving Time aka Summer Time in the rest of the world? Like not a shift by one hour, but rather by 7 quilchings and 5/3 ponders? (Or whatever the imperial units for Time might be)

No, Franziska Rubin (link goes to her German website). She wrote a book about sleeping problems.

I guess not - I was just referring to it by its name, British Summer Time (BST).

For some reason that made me think of this, which I first saw on a greeting card :laughing:

Does that make sense to non-Brits? If not it’s a joke based on the nursery rhyme, Pop Goes the Weasel:

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
