My recipe for good sleep :

  • AC : set to 16C with high fan speed.
  • Clothes (optional) but preferred naked.
  • A glass of warm milk.

Not really going to sleep well when ghosts keep showing up and waking you up every hour to show you your past, present, and future.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just buy some for them too and sleep together

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But the three then they also get confronted with their ghosts for the past, present and future

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

We can harness this to produce energy somehow!

Ghost Manager: "Where the fuck is everyone tonight?"

What's the purpose of a night cap? Like why would anyone want to wear a tall, floppy hat while they sleep?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

To keep your head warm during sleep.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Does a tall, floppy hat keep your head warmer than something that lays closer to your head?

[–] apex32@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The long end could be used like a scarf to keep the back of the neck warm.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't a scarf work better as a scarf?

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In the Tyburn and Newgate days of British judicial hanging history, the hood used to cover the prisoner's face was a nightcap supplied by the prisoner, if he could afford it.[3]

WTF

[–] protist@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

So you had to have a tall, floppy night cap in case you were ever hanged, got it.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

It gave you more garment to work with on cold nights if you wanted to cover up more of your neck or face.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

We have mastered the method of making a post seem sarcastic and sincere at the same time. I don't even think it's conscious anymore.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I actually wondered the exact same thing when I posted this and searched it, it's to keep your head warm and your pomaded hair off the pillows back when effective heat and regular showers were less common.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

It's a statement. Similar to a thinking cap

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ever tried sleeping in the cold?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But why is it tall and floppy? Why not just like a knit beanie?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

A lil trouble keeping up proper turgor pressure

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The nightcap is cheap and low effort. All you really need are two pieces of scrap fabric to sew together. A knit beanie has to be, well, knit. Now we have machine/robotic knitting, but hand knitting consumes a huge amount of time and energy. The nightcap clearly came about at a time when clothing was straight up made in the home, often from scrounged fabric. Nowadays the higher quality beanie is the obvious choice. It's snug to your head, can be purchased at many different price points, is manufactured using cheap outsourced labor halfway around the world and can be at your door step 12 hours after a mouse click. I don't think I've ever seen someone unironically wear one of those floppy night caps in my life unless it was part of a cheap children's novelty pajama set or costume.

When my child was young enough that they couldn't talk but could express themself, once I put them to bed and told them it was time to sleep. They squinted their eyes to pretend they were closed and said "honk shoo, honk shoo."

I was flabbergasted. Turns out their mother had taught them that as a kind of meditation to progress towards sleep, but I didn't know that and briefly thought they'd manifested it on their own.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Little kids are so funny with this kind of thing. They'll go from these useless uninteresting helpless little blobs, hit you with a sudden flash of personality, then just sit there and smile/ giggle at your dumbfounded face

Not when the ghost of Jacob Marley comes and fucks with you.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Overlooked the "with" at first and got really confused that someone was horny for "A Christmas Carol."

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Putting the Dick in Dickens

Putting the Dickens in Scrooge.

Then scaring it out

You might want to rethink the nightshirt because it has an Ebeneezer Scrooge vibe to it.

Not with pol**ster, you ain't.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone's gonna be disappointed when they get the hat and realize it is child-sized...

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They have a comically small head.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Any men here tried sleeping in a night gown? I have and it rode up to my shoulders, might as well have just slept nude.

No, you're about to be visited by three ghosts.
