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.

Ah right! Did he take the photo of the lorikeet (or is it a parakeet?)? 🙂

Good to hear you're having a gentle day today. Hopefully tomorrow will go well for you. @Shaz51

Thank you @Former-Member

the bird is a peach-faced love bird , the kids found one in the sandpit and so we kept it and she lived for another 10 years xx

Re: Night Shift

Gorgeous! On so many levels. 🙂 I didn't realise they could have such longevity. But then, it does make sense that the love bird was thriving on love.

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone. 😊
I'm ready for a rest now, thanks for asking @Shaz 51 Been out shopping (not food). Really bad sleep last night, so feeling really tired now. Felt scared last night all night. I think it might have something to do with starting therapy for PTSD again. Saw psychologist on Thursday, first time in years. I guess facing things again is bound to be uncomfortable, but I really think EMDR therapy will help me. Haven't started it yet. 😊
Good you're having a rest day. Beautiful sunny day here, chilly last couple of nights. 😀

Hi @Former-Member

Sorry to hear you are feeling rattled, and it sucks when those sort of feelings impair your sleep ....

Make sure you try to rest up .... I end to take pyjama days now - even if they are disguised in a tracksuit - and do housekeeping raids from my bed or the couch until my energy levels and sense of equilibrium are restored enough to get up and on again.

Hugs .... 💜🌷
