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. Thanks for the shoutouts. Just came on to say hi and let you know that I'm okay. Physical health is down in various ways. But mental health is okay - except that I feel I can't engage with the forum at the moment due to the suicide of my old friend's daughter a little while back. Just can't manage reading about that subject at the moment, brings up too much for me from recent event and from events past. So for now it seems best to continue on with my break from forum life. Mostly what I'm doing in the interim is knitting. How scintillating, eh? Haha. Great to hear from you, @eth. Glad to know that things are okay with you too, even if not quite up to par. Sending very best wishes to everyone here. It makes me glad to see that Night Shift is still going. See you all again a bit later, probably. Over and out for now.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Shaz51 and @eth

I have natural remedies on hand for allergies and they worked - the tough part is being disturbed all night - and feeling flat

I got out of the room and left the window open for a while and watched a movie and went back to bed before dawn but didn't sleep much - I will have to go to bed early and miss Louis Therou's Weird Weekends - I feel as if my own has been weird enough

So having natural stuff on hand is a good idea - yes - and I have some herbs mixed up to have with my salad for dinner - not that I am that hungry

Also - I have a lot of vegetable soup here too

Darn - I have had trouble getting focussed all day!!!!!

Hi @Former-Member

The movie is great - but not one to watch unless in a in for a vicarious weep at the end. I won't spoil the end for anyone - so that's all I can say - but I have watched it twice -

Re: Night Shift

Really lovely of you to pop in @Mazarita to let us know how you are. I don't know I'm sure there are ways to make knitting scintillating 😜 Glad you have found something that helps. I hope you've had some projects to keep that creative side going strong too. Take care of you😊💜

Re: Night Shift

How has your day been @Former-Member ? I slept heaps better last night even though when I went to sleep it was late, I stayed up to watch the Triathlon from Rio & I think last nite was a mini win for me. I have not done my usual long walk, I did a gym session today & went for a drive with a friend, we stopped off & had afternoon tea, it was lovely. I have GP's & massage appointment & also going to do deep water class tomorrow. I am trying to keep busy before my appointment on Tuesday, I have the last appointment for the day.

Good to hear your boy won @Former-Member

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member. It sounds like you've had a lovely day today. Really pleased you had a good sleep. All that talk about sleep last night must have paid off. AGGH for the last appointment of the day @Former-Member, just to keep you thinking about it all day. Perhaps you'll have to try for a long walk that day for a good distraction. I hope your mum is feeling better as well. Yes I'm glad my sons team one. He was very sore after the game, it was really rough. There will be lots of sore bodies tonight. My son is built pretty well and works out in the gym and is a labourer but looked so small out there with all the big men today. That was my distraction for the day, cringing at all the rough play but at least I was in the sun and it was warm. Now I'm procrastinating what to have for dinner😁 I hope you sleep well tonight💜💐😊
