Do you ever have nightmares about your worms?

2nd (3rd?) nightmare, at least, that I've had about my worms.

First was some weird doomsday scenario where a wall of fire was chasing us (sort of like the perimeter in battle royal games). I yelled out loud when it crossed my worm tank, incinerating all my poor worms

Second was where they escaped, every single one. I saw a couple lying around, wriggling frantically, but also some very strange gelatinous possibly alien worm-shaped creatures around. They were more liquid than solid, very active, and hard to tell whether they'd eaten the worms or the worms became them. But I did not have a good feeling about them

The same night, I had another dream someone cleaned out my tank, replacing all of the yummy moldy stuff with a full tank of fresh food, including an inches thick layer of white rice. I totally flipped out and wondered how many baby worms and cocoons they might have missed

Can I compost sleepytime tea?

Or will the worms get too sleepy?

Do worms have daily routine?

Yesterday I had a look into my two bins and I did't see a single worm. Neither on the hemp mat nor below. This happend before.

Some other day there are tons of worms hanging around on the lid and hemp mat.

Ist this normal behaviour? Do they have like a schedule or something? Anyone observed this, too?
