    Cool Forum Addiction

    Lately I've been suffering from forum addiction I not sleeping well at the moment and I'm not sure weather I'm spending a lot of time here cos I can't sleep or I can't sleep cos I'm spending too much time here. Either way I am enjoying this forum quite a lot so cheers to the people who set it up.

    For me it's always the latter!

    I try to avoid forums before bedtime.

    a) I stay up later than normal whilst on forums
    b) My mind doesn't settle enough & I have trouble sleeping

    You can get little dopamine hits from forums. I can see why they can be addictive

    Cool

    Sleeping is a problematic thing for me usually anyway but when I get on something like this I'm doomed. The other night I saw a thread, I wanted to respond so I did, it was a longish response and I ended up writing it 4 times for various reasons of the site not letting me post it. This took 2 hours and it was 3am when I started but I new that it was in my mind so I wouldn't have slept till I had put it up. All my good ideas seem collect in the day and all come rushing into my brain when I lie down to sleep. I need to clear out my mind and decide not to think at that time which I can normally do. I'm just having a phase lol

    HINT: If you don't check the little box at the top that says "remember me" then it will time log you out....

    Cheers for the tip I might try that in future. I don't normally like to do that though cos I don't like leaving my passwords on the computer but seeing as I log in here with Facebook that shouldn't matter
