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 @Former-Member

I think it's a bit like that for all of us ...

Some people just jump in and say a hi to whoever is around, chat a bit with whatever is happening in that moment, then go again for whatever reason they are no longer online at that time.

It has been a gradual thing for me to learn more about other people's stories, just from spending time here most days ...

You can ask about any nuances you don't understand ... you might not get the full detail that has gone into other posts in response, but sometimes something brief and general is enough to fill in gaps.

How are you doing tonight ?

Hi @Former-Member

I was just going to ask if you were still here .... I'm just going back through email notifications and realised I had missed a couple of your questions before .... have I missed you this time ? If so I will probably catch up with you tomorrow .... hope you sleep well.
