There's always something that you remember at 3am!
**** Keep a notepad by your bed ****
When your brain starts whirring as you're trying to sleep - write stuff down.
Pick it up in the morning. Written down thoughts aren't going anywhere.

Rough sleeping in Oxford has gone up 400% since 2012.
Over 100 households a month now approach Oxford City Council identifying as homeless.
Homelessness is a social issue:
money issues, family breakdown, addiction, health problems or a criminal history can escalate from a personal crisis into homelessness.
Homelessness is a structural and economic issue triggered by increased rents in the private sector, unaffordable housing, compounded by austerity and the effects of years of funding cuts.
