Title: Why don't we put the lights on ????
Post by: Miss Demeanour on February 07, 2009, 09:07:55 AM
When we go to the toilet in the middle of the night.....even when you know you're not going to disturb anyone  noooo:

I did this last night and then went into the bathroom , knocked against a storage unit and a mahoooosive tub of shampoo feel on my left foot. I am now crippled, unable to walk - oh alright I may have a bruise appearing but why doesn't logic work in the dark  rubschin:

Quite.
If I'd done that 9 years ago, I wouldn't have scar on me 'ed, and I wouldn't have woken everyone up at 2:30am, including the next door neighbours, and I wouldn't have smashed the newly erected cupboard half way down the stairs, and been reminded of it all on a fairly regular basis ever since like. ::)
Being pissed out of me mind didn't help like, but lights on may have helped.

I went out to an unfamiliar restaurant last night...

Followed the signs to the toilet up a dark stairway, rubbing the walls trying to find the lights... I never did.  noooo:

They'll clean it up today prolly...  whistle:

It's the shock of the light  8)   I've a dimmer switch in the bathroom and click it on at lowest glimmer for that middle of the night moment.

Dimmer switches  rubschin: Now there's a thing. This one was fitted at the wishes of an ex who was rather keen on moody bath time experiences  eyes: Also fitted was a speaker connected to the CD player in the living room and an abundance of candles  ::)

As long as it's only almost then ...  whistle:

Speaking of dimmer switches, as you do, I once had an energy efficiency expert (prat!) come and assess my place. God knows why... it was a freebie when switching suppliers I think.
He prattled on about the dimmer switch in the bathroom not saving me any money  ::)  In spite of telling him that wasn't actually the point he was insistent on sucking his teeth and shaking his head. A 5* prat.

I never do ~ mainly because I don't want to wake up that much so a bright light is the last thing I need.
Mind you, taking diuretics, I trot across the landing at least three times every night so I know the way ~ it's the fvcking lego bricks that get me! cussing:

We were woken at 1 this morning with most of the lights on in the house. The Boy does an interesting line in 'sleepwalking nightmares' You can't wake him up and he tears around the house shouting things like ' My arm is going tooo fast' ( rubschin:) and 'It's coming out of the wall'.

Feel like shite this morning. Those lights were far too bright and the wake up far too sudden  cussing:

My daughter used to do a similar thing when she was younger. She'd run around the house in panic mode, yet not remember a thing the next morning.

Our littlest just appears at our bedside and stands there in the dark ~ never says a word and waits to be taken back to bed ...... next morning he has no idea it has happened. shrugs: Happens once every night between 1 and 3

Probably not. Judging by Snoopy's post it's more common than we think.  rubschin:

If Snoopy's littlest turned up silently next to my bed at 2 in the morning it would freak me out too, but it seems unlikely

I used to do it too. Still do from time to time. The concern with me though was I used to get out of the house. When we lived in Germany I was found out in the garden in the snow. Just sitting in it.
