Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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,

sorry to hear you are still struggling. Even though I had a pretty good day I still had a couple of hours in bed in the middle of the day. I rarely make it through without a crash of some kind where I just need to rest because I can't hold it together. So I empathise with you. I'm sure your faith will return too. You seem like such a positive person even when you are struggling. I hope your daughter has a good time away. And yep there is always one of us to say hi and send hugs your way 💜😊

Yes, time out from the world and people is sometimes a necessity @TAB, that's for sure.

Re: Night Shift

Hugs to you too @Former-Member xoxo

I am really looking forward to seeing the psychologist, that's for sure. It is very frustrating not being able to get on top of things. I hate wasting life and it feels like I am. Good on you for having a nap every day. It certainly helps. I have been trying to have a nap every day after school drop off. Because my daughter wasn't here today, I thought I'd catch up on more sleep.

Glad you seem to be coping better this week.

Just making a cuppa and some toast.

Re: Night Shift

At least if your going to have a superpower at all 'willing things' is a pretty cool one to have @TAB. I think mine would be procrastinating which just sucks but ahh well that's how superpowers go😜
