Because this is a real issue for me right now!

It’s 11.49pm, and I’m lying wide awake, thinking about things I could eat. I do not need to eat, I definitely ate a good, balanced day’s worth of food today, but I can’t sleep and I want to eat because I’m bored!

    Read a book, do some knitting, go to sleep!

    All this! ^^


    Catch up on homework.
    Do your taxes.
    Do some housework.
    Clean out your closets.
    Paint your nails.
    Go for a quick walk.


    It's 11:57 and personally, I'm about to go to bed, read a book, and then fall asleep.

    Apparently I just needed to be told.. I read this, turned off the iPad and went straight to sleep 😂
