Ha ha. It's.......................................................... Numbnuts!
(Once I stopped imagining that it was from a Times/Guardian/Telegraph puzzle and in fact you had made it up for us, it was much easier.)

It was a few minutes from once I concentrated on it not being A Serious Clue. And I have been busy doing other vitally important lockdown stuff...***
*** Such as designing a logo for a business that doesn't yet exist, to be hosted on a domain that I don't yet own, and promoting puzzle games that I haven't yet finished!

It's good to read a light hearted thread. Glad to here everyone's light hearted banter.

I'd say the degree of seriousness is directly proportional to the degree of numbness.
Which of course is a variation of the more familiar ...
The angle of dangle, is directly proportional to the heat of the meat, whereas the urge remains constant.

I'm surprised that you are aware of such unsavoury matters...!
I'm going to try to catch up on my sleep tonight. I'll try TV on at 00:30, bed 02:30, lights out 03:15, and see if I can actually get to sleep by 03:30. If I can and don't wake up until 11:00 that will be the longest night's sleep I have had for months.
If that works, I'll try 30 minutes earlier next time.
Ideally, (until BST) I would be asleep by 01:30 and wake up about 09:00. I'd aim to bring it forward by an hour when BST comes in at the end of March.

Too much time spent in engineering workshops and being constantly wound up by men I guess. At least I escaped the initiation rituals that other apprentices endured - they were pretty harsh I can tell you.
Your sleep routine sounds stressful.

I had years of insomnia, i.e. trying to get to sleep and failing, so I gave up trying once I didn't have to fit in with 'normal' hours. I just do what I want to do and wait until I feel tired enough to sleep and that usually works. Getting worried about it is when it becomes stressful!
If I got up at 06:00, and went off on a very hilly 100 mile bike ride at 08:00, I would probably be able to get to sleep by midnight that night.
When I used to do my 2 week cycling holidays in Spain I quickly got into a routine... Up 07:30, breakfast 08:30, back to room 09:15, get ready, start ride at 10:00, back 14:00-16:00 depending on whether it was an 'easy' day or a 'hard' day. Shower, stroll to the supermarket, snack, snooze. Evening meal 19:00-20:00. Maybe spend an hour at the hotel bar, or just go back to room. Chat with pal to 22:00-23:00. Left him watching TV and headed off to bed. Read for a while but usually asleep within 15-30 minutes. At least 8 hours good sleep. I need regular hard exercise to settle into that kind of routine though.
Oops, I'm up to my usual tricks... it is TV time!
