Do you ever lie awake in your bed, look around and think..

retro:electro

If someone walked into the room to attack me, what would I do to defend myself? Am in bed alone now and if someone came into the room to try and harm me I don't think there's anything in here that I could grab to defend myself. Maybe a pair of blunt toe nail scissors, but I'd have to rummage to find them and I'd probably be murdered by then.
Should we all sleep with a knife under the bed? :pac:

I get into bed and usually asleep before I have time to think about being murdered in my bed.

That said, how many people do you know that have been murdered in their bed at night?

Grueller

If I heard them in time they would have two rifles and a shotgun to answer to.

Fighting Tao

Get yourself some blackout blinds. No more looking around in bed at night once you have them.

First mistake already made OP

He wont be walking into the room.


He is already under the bed.

Stop watching television before bed, let your mind relax

I've some empty glass beer and wine bottles lying around my bed.
Some people might say that's a result of problem drinking but I prefer to look at it as preparation of implements for self-defence.

Sleep in the wardrobe, then when the intruder walks in, jump out and shout "BOO", you'll give the fecker a heart attack.

Junkyard Tom

What was the name of that serial killer who hid in women's bedroom wardrobes before committing his crimes?

Are Am Eye

you could always flash him

You could disarm him with your feminine charms

You'd hear them coming, you'd have time to panic and at least jump out of your bed!

I would hide under the covers and stick out my middle finger

Have you three ****ing hands or something?

TresGats

Yeah, occasionally. I have a pool ball (dresser) and a sock (floor) both within arms reach though.
I do yoga nidra on headphones every night to quiet my mind or I can't sleep. Try it, youtube- yoga nidra for sleep- only takes 20 minutes and your mind is switched off and you feel like you are floating on a cloud after it.

I'm lying in bed thinking of what do i do with my life. I'm mid 30s, stuck in a job where I'm the office scapegoat. Trying to figure out what to do. I can't afford to go back to college for the third time in my life. And for what, for it all to go tits up again. I'll be 40 with no life and broke after college. Wouldn't be able to travel at 40 and can't exactly afford a mortgage now, i don't see that changing any time soon.

I'm getting older with nothing to show for it. I wish i can take 20 years of my life and start all over again at 18. That's what I'm thinking lying awake in bed tonight.

They really shouldn't burst in on me.

While ur riding anyway.

I would throw all of my books at them!

Sometimes after watching my murder stories I do contemplate such things. Mostly I think about the past. I also do this weird thing where I pick a random famous person and wonder what they are doing right now.

A lock on your bedroom door would give you peace of mind. F you dont have intruder alarm system. You willhear someone trying to open your locked door. Giving you time to pick up your weapon of choice and/or make a phone call.
Think bread knife instead of nail scissors

Bread knife?

What are you going to do.... grab their hand and start a sawing motion until you break skin.

Day Lewin

Why in the name of goodness would anyone wish to do that? Murder a complete stranger for no reason?
Are you stinko rich or a wicked blackmailer? Maybe a recanting drug dealer or a heart-breaker?
Relax, go to sleep.

What with all the annihilation fetishist lately?

I'll take solace in knowing that if someone murders me, at least the cared about me enough to murder me
