What Is The Funniest Thing You Did To Entertain Yourself When You Couldn't Sleep At Night

I have had many sleepless nights dealing with ptsd and I was just remembering the funniest thing I ever did. I decided to make random phonecalls and pretend I was a chinese restaurant and they ordered a delivery. I got a lot of hang ups but it was hilarious to me if not to the person on the other end of the line insisting they did not order from king dynasty restaurant. One guy had a great sense of humour and lhao and we had a great conversation that led to more and we dated for a year. Hilarious, intelligent guy-we are still good friends.

Did you do anything really funny what was it?
 
I text my insomniac sister who is very naive and make out like some urban legend is happening to me. For instance the one where the creepy black eyed kids knock on your door and try to get you to invite them in. I text these elaborate lies to see if I can fool her. Sometimes I forget to tell her I was teasing for a few weeks. I'm a bad big sister lol.
 
As someone who also has trouble sleeping at times, and also has children in the house, I really cannot say that I would find that funny at all from the receiving end, as I always keep my phone on in case genuine people do need me in the night, which does happen at times, but if I was woken up like that once I had finally managed to get to sleep in the times I am finding it so hard anyhow I know it would be so hard for me, and not help in any way in my emotional state.

I do not mean to be harsh towards you at all, but really did want to say that, as I just do not get the impression that you have thought about the impact this may have on others too, and do think it could be particularly hard for quite a lot of people.

@ helenb well, I guess we all are different. It was h ilarious and helped me immensely I did not harm anyone!
 
Think I gotta kind of agree with Helen...maybe because I'm older..and fearful that I might really upset someone with phone gags in middle of the night. It's an interesting question, though. I often have sleepless nights. I've just viewed funny videos on you tube...the one about funniest game show answers makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.
