Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 09, 2023

Almost all broadcast television as well.

Eh me can sleeps all days without needing reading materials.

My favorite reply … Just a Battery recharge :-)

It’s the TV for me, especially just before bed time. The few books I read are usually too interesting to put me to sleep – Tony Hilerman.

And Solitaire. A good, sleep-inducing game.

I find my devices put me to sleep if I am tired. They don’t keep me awake. Maybe because I work on a computer all day long and am so used to them?

You have confusing dreams when you are reading three different books around the house at the same time.

Oh! This is SO Hubby!

Just sitting down with nothing in my hands will put this plugger in “lights out” mode.

The energy used in waking up kicks in the nap gland some days.

Helps relax the brain sometimes.

Reading books instead of taking zzzquil.

Yep; pretty much!

Even a good book will do the job.

Reading the online comics has the same affect on me.

No, for me the problem is falling asleep. I was never an early to bed… person. Mom used to wake me up for school, dress me, and push me out the door with a Pop Tart (not heated, per me) for breakfast in my hand.

I have gotten really bad during these Covid years and husband is only off a couple of hours from me. We go to bed around 4:30 am – I will see 6 am before I fall asleep. My alarm will go off at 10 am and be reset for 11 am, then noon – he will be up from same by 11 or 11:30 and watching TV in bed. He will make me wake up, get out of bed and dress a little after noon for the day.

He only reads books on his cell phone or computer these years – he can make the print larger as he has trouble reading with glasses on. I, on the other hand, cannot follow anything read on cell phone/computer which requires the concentration of a book or magazine and read printed items only.

I do read these comics online – does not take the concentration of a book/magazine – but because that is only way I can get most of them to read. Right now it is 12:21 am I will be online until he comes down for snack before bed.
