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 I've been trying to check back and see how everyone is. Seems like lots of banter 😄

Really glad you've had a good day @Former-Member, is today when your mum was coming?

@TAB Sounds like your not going backwards yet which is always good, hopefully you are close to getting stuff sorted.

@Former-Member how are you going? I'm sorry if you've written it somewhere to Ive missed

@Faith-and-Hope. Guessing we could change your name this week to On-the-Run. I hope all is well.

@Decadian have we got our new computer yet? Yes we cos I'm excited for you and can't wait 😝 I hope you are feeling well. I'm sorry I haven't been of much support and I know you've had a more down time than usual of late. I hope things are picking up a bit.

@Appleblossom. I hope you are travelling ok too. It's been a bit hard for me to read how you are at the moment. I hope all is ok and that family dynamics are not currently stressful.

@Shaz51 I have been meaning to say that I'm so glad you got away on the weekend. It sounded

lovely and the pic I saw somewhere looks so serene. I hope the weather eases up for you again soon.

sending hugs to all😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I am sorry you are so tired - you have been working hard lately - and fatigue is a necessary follow up - and it doesn't matter what kind of work you have been doing - tired is tired

No computer yet - I will do it when I am ready - I am tired with sinus pressure - it seems to take me all day to do just enough - I want to fall asleep as soon as I sit down -

Sorry you have a cold @Shaz - if it's not one thing it's another - alas

I hope everyone is okay - okay is good - I guess I am okay because I am doing all right

But I am off to bed soon - can hardly wait - and I have someone coming at 9.00 am tomorrow - ah - that's too early

Decadian

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope, @TAB, @Former-Member, @Former-Member for your show of support too💜😊I think I could get used to celebrating good days ( well at least until I have a shocker). Not usually one in the past to share good things but it feels important here to do do as we share the down stuff so much it feels like we need balance. Take care💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hoping your sinuses clear soon @Decadian, I was only talking to a friend today that I've been lucky that I've not been sick as everyone seems to be at the moment but then I realised that you have to leave the house to pick up germs which I've hardly done for a while. Now that I've been out three days this week I'll probably get a lurgy of some kind. I hope you feel better tomorrow and that you sleep well so that you feel ok at 9 when your help comes. Take care @Decadian. Sending best wishes and healing vibes your way💜😊
