Thanks Keith and Don ?

It's not something I suffer from regularly, but have done in the past (back then it was mostly debt related). My 'remembering poems' technique has been working really well though and has largely cured me. Well, that and weapons-grade levels of denial. ?

The cat sat on the mat

Tom,

A clever piece of poetry, the subject of which I am well acquainted with. Is it only an over active mind? Or is their something subliminal going on. Anxiety could be a reason, but it is the fluidity of thought, the dwelling on what has been encountered or said that is quite remarkable. It is not comparable with a dream but it takes the form of a strange soliloquy. Often disjointed and sleep becomes evasive

I know of no antidote. Thank goodness it is not a regular occurrence.

Thank you for this.

Keith

I'm pleased it works for you Tom:

' but I find trying to recall my poems line by line is a fast and effective way to fall back to sleep'

If I recycle round my rhymes
When I hop in my bed
My neurons go speed up lots more
Muck up my silly head

Or recall your lines
Maybe I'm reading the wrong poet?....

It is a mystery how we can lead so much of our lives on auto-pilot. We never do forget to breath - until we do!

This probably doesn't say much about my writing, but I find trying to recall my poems line by line is a fast and effective way to fall back to sleep - in the anxious hours.

And thanks Po :) That is also a good idea.
