I do my main thinking around midnight every night. I open up a bottle of beer, make myself a sandwich and just chill out. The living room is silent. Wifey is in bed. No telly on. No Radio on. No music on. Just the sound of silence. I likely put my 12.9" IPad Plus on and check out the papers and stuff, but generally I just THINK. I usually arrive in bed around 3.00AM and cuddle up to Wifey's Bum!. Bliss. Pure BLISS!
I am not allowed to drink alcohol at the moment, but do love the way you enjoy your beer and in this case a sandwich. Further on no sound on, do that too here. Most precious time! Thanks for sharing Boozer
I do a lot of thinking in the early hours, although I am a little odd at times, I think in my sleep too! I keep a pad and pen beside my bed to make notes on for later. I remember a couple of years ago, we had a problem at work and couldn't sort it, anyway it was about 2am we're both fast asleep in bed when I suddenly leapt up, "got it, I understand it now!" I yelled, the wife woke up wondering what the hell was going on, I made a quick sketch on the pad, rolled over and went back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning there it was on the pad, the solution to the problem at work. TBH I think that sometimes I don't fully shut down at night, a bit like a dog who appears to be fast asleep but wakes up the minute you walk past it no matter how quiet you are.
early mornings... Example: this morning I decided to take a summer course to lighten the load for my fall semester from 3 to 2 classes by taking one of the classes that's offered beginning next week. I wake up early, and I find that it's easy to think things through while the world sleeps.
@olderndirt When I walk it is later the day, but am mostly quite relaxed in my head at that moment. @phil1965 Good idea to have a pen and paper next to the bed. I have my moments when I wake up and yell 'Eureka' lol @soulcompromise the sound of silence can do miracles. Hope your classes will do you any good. Thanks all for letting us know. It;s fun to read.
Usually later in the day when I have nibbled a little on a pot brownie. All sorts of thoughts emerge then.
I prefer the very early hours of the morning, somewhere between 5-7 AM. when most others are still sleeping, and the town hasn't fully awaken yet. The peace and quiet is mesmerizing and makes thinking easier.
Handy do a new thread. Lol Do males and females think differently? I think they do. Want a situation?
