If Iβm not mature, why do I suffer from the exact same sleep issues as the oldest people I know?
@TheCard #sleep Sleeping well or not has nothing to do with maturity, but rather with life circumstances and environment!
I am old and I need sleeping pills only because I have always allowed my brain to fixate on daily events! Turn and toss has been my type of sleep for a long time as an adult!
So rest assured that sleeping like a baby applies to all levels of maturity!π
Aye that! I am old, but I sleep like a master dream surfer.
I recall being sleepless when younger though, usually due to unsatisfying work for people I did not respect, bad diet, lack of exercise, stress, anxiety, doubt, fear, guilt.
Also, your sampling may not be representative. I think people who sleep well tend to not go on about it :)

@ceorl Right, that's my curse, I can spend hours mulling over incidents or happenings of the day. I have to consciously block my brain to stop analyzing all possibilities!
Your language seems to come from Scotland or thereabouts!π
Mine is a learned third language so forgive my academic styleπ

@ceorl Do they all say "aye that" in NE? It is straight out of a British war movie from the 70s which I enjoy to this day!π
As for the complaint of lost youth, I say Aye that!
ha, it is not uncommon to hear Aye on a sailboat, though I think "Aye That" may be a an affectation I've picked up from who knows where at this point.
I find that I prefer to resurrect antiquated expressions rather than adopt many of the new ones.
Did you see @awnaves cheat-sheet of Shakespearean shade castings from earlier today?
Great stuff to bring sparkle back to conversations :)
@ceorl @Helveticus He can't see shit because he blocked me. π€£π€£π€£
@Helveticus
Oh and I do love those old Brit movies as well :)
@Helveticus
Actually I am just an old New England sailor, but well read and a lover of language and culture from everywhere.
I did not mean to gloss over any reasons for sleeplessness that might require some sort of help. Chronic pain could have been added to the list as well. Just in my case it was usually a head full of churning brain worms of some sort.
I think we agree that it has nothing to do with age though, and in my experience it was much more a complaint of youth :)
