It's not like you need a special pillow. But as it happens I have a triangular one which I use for sitting up and watching screen and then it transfers between my legs very effectively, as long as my dog doesn't object to me moving an inch once she's settled

Yeah, my sleeping problem is my cats settle down one either side and pin me, and when I manage to turn over they walk up and down me, compete to shove their bums in my face and occasionally hiss at each other.

A couple of years of a cat jumping off the windowsill onto my groin at 5AM taught me the true power of doors.

Surprise T Rex posted:On the train to Manchester today for a work thing, feeling like a bit of a scab since the ASLEF stuff is starting from today. Fwiw a while back I saw a RMT guy talking about people travelling on strike days and he was saying they really don't give a poo poo. If anything it's better because it puts more pressure on the system and emphasises the problems. Just be prepared for any disruption, suck it up if it happens, and remember to claim any delay repays to screw over the train companies. If you worked for the railways you'd be a scab, but as a passenger you're not.

Something happened just after 4pm to all these networks: My Three went off at 16:12 and Smarty at the same time (it uses the network), I couldn't get BTWifi to even show up at all, and after about 10 mins or so thought I would try my Lebara SIM (which goes on Vodafone) but as I was pfaffing about trying to decide how long to renew for (currently not activated), Three came back on so I don't know if Lebara was down. I didn't think to check my O2.  Was it a Coronal Mass Ejection or some kind of mass hack? Naturally, downdetector comments have complaints for each service saying it is useless and they're going to switch, but to what? Seems like they were all out! Might be impact from Wednesday's CME: A near X-class (M9.8) solar flare (R2-moderate) erupted yesterday at 19:50 UTC. It was sunspot region 3500 which was pretty much on the center of the earth-facing solar disk at the time that was the source of this eruption. The eruption launched an asymmetrical full halo coronal mass ejection which means the coronal mass ejection is pretty much guarantied to hit Earth. A launch speed of about 1.100km/sec puts the arrival time at Earth for this eruption during the UTC afternoon or evening on Friday, 1 December. https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/512/20231129-m9-8-solar-flare-with-earth-directed-cme.html Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Dec 1, 2023 |

It's like when all the Russian channels suddenly start showing Swan Lake instead of news. This is the signal that you need to join your comrades in the streets and dust off your guillotine

OwlFancier posted:I have restless legs a lot, have you thought of a hitatchi or something? You can stick it up your arse if it doesn't help the leg. I had not considered this. Definitely something to look into (not my arse) though, and would be a nice replacement for punching myself in the hip muscle bit. happyhippy posted:I have a small patch on the front of my left shin which 'triggers' that Im being touched there as if its a spider or insect crawling over it. I’m glad you can ignore it at will now, because that sounds like a nightmare, I wonder what causes that? Some kind of vestigial early warning system? And in bed with you in a fun times way or in an AAAAARGH way? Jippa posted:Do you sleep in a specific position? I do sleep in a specific position, yes! I sleep on my side with a flap of duvet tucked between my boney knees. Thank you for the suggestion though, it was very thoughtful of you.

I used to use a normal pillow but my physio suggested the knee pillow and it's very different, it has a specific shape that supports the bones and stuff.

A head pillow is convex, a knee pillow is concave.

Pork Pie Hat posted:I had not considered this. Definitely something to look into (not my arse) though, and would be a nice replacement for punching myself in the hip muscle bit. I have personally simply got gud at sleeping at least in that respect so I can fall asleep while constantly kicking my legs. Probably less practical if you ever intend to share a bed with another human being or cat/dog however. I do occasionally do a bit of leg punching though yes. I assume blasting it with a clit obliterator 9000 will work even better.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:You people with sleep issues, have you tried CBD? If you have and it hasn't worked, have you tried taking more CBD? It stops me waking up at 3AM and my body thinking it's time to get up then. Over time I've built up a tolerance so I make my own oil now from isolate and MCT oil. CBD gives me an hours-long panic attack  Side sleeping is the way. I can never get comfy with a knee pillow though so I just go without.

And in bed with you in a fun times way or in an AAAAARGH way? Thanks. Its not constant, and not a SUDDEN POKE like feeling, more that it was already there and is 'moving' across the skin. As a kid, it was more often, and it would catch me sometimes and I would look down and try to see what was on my leg, but usually I'd just scratch it with the other leg As for sleeping it can get me sometimes, confused sleepy freaking out something just walked over my legs. gently caress knows what causes it, nerve damage, brain wiring mixed up, aliens, take your pick.

I'm cautious when it's below 0 remembering an incident - probably 30 years ago now yeah my point is that pouring water onto a windshield is a very bad idea. i don’t even think those sprays are good because they will absolutely freeze in in cold weather when you get under speed TACD posted:I have some CBD gummies and it seems to be a toss-up as to whether they help me sleep or keep me awake 🤷🏻 i mean just because your body uses doesn’t mean that it’s exceptionally useful when taken orally though. it just doesn’t seem to do much for me regardless of dosage. it’s not a big deal. lmao hanged. what a goof.
