Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone, sorry if I missed anyone's messages.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds mornings very difficult. After I do the school drop off, I have to go back to bed lately. I hate it that I waste my mornings, but I just don't seem to cope if I don't get some extra sleep.

I tell myself that this struggle will end, but I often wonder when it will.

Life seems to be passing me by and I'm enduring it, instead of enjoying it. So many things to do and no energy or motivation to do them.

That's my whinge for the day. Now I better get on with the washing and chores. Before I know it, it will be time for school pickup.

Chat again soon.

Re: Night Shift

❤ I think some days are to be a dream state @Decadian. I don't much get opportunity to go back to bed, I get busy which probably is detrimental to my mental functions some days. Go the fortified wine! A perfect winter ritual I like that. I found myself happy to be home, but I'm dreading falling into unhappiness again. I feel a little suffocation at times where I live. I'm feel no different to anyone else then re: the conformity life puts upon us. I'm going to try tuning out tonight. I read mars is in my sign. This always leads me to become firery. I must pick fights in my house!! 🙈 Pass the fortified over, we can partake this winter's night together! 😊

Re: Night Shift

Sorry that was a 'must not' @Decadian! I really like what others had to say on the matter too @Faith-and-Hope...It's a lesson learnt for sure.❤
