Actually, by the contents of my last two comments, l think my brain must’ve been affected already!

l hate the thought of dust, flaking skin and whatever comes out of your nose and mouth whilst you are sleeping, going into the atmosphere and then settling on your water!!

My daughters use those sports bottles but l always think they drink from them, like they are at a breast!

How would having a night table improve on that??

Been that way since birth - used to drive people mad - especially my brother and sister - they seemed to need 8 or 9 hours of sleep otherwise they were decidedly cranky!
Mother insisted we children should be in bed by 7:00pm - which meant that by 12 midnight I was up again and raring to go! She took to locking my bedroom door.
