Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

On Western time over here @Former-Member, so it wasn't quite that late .... but WH is setting his alarm for 5:30am .... so after staying up with D3, that's sorta knocking me around .... I'm a sparrow ordinarily, so once I'm awake early morning I don't go back to sleep easily .... 😒

WH is off again after the weekend, so my own sleep patterns will settle again next week. Till then I will tend to nap here and there when I can. ✅

Hoping for an early night tonight - can't find a fingers-crossed emoticon ....

Re: Night Shift

Walter segal..I'll look up. I'm bit flattened out or something. Had a sleep (short) but felt worse. Probably just don't get enough sleep as always broken. Chatted to partner before about my days cycle. Try to understand how my paranoid state starts going. I was watching catalyst & it annoyed me. like I'm no scientist so they could be talking a whole load of loose ends crapp, & the general public has no idea what they are listening too. Seems to be a lot of questions, not answers is what I was hearing. People just believe such rubbish. Astonishing! Kind of swings me full circle the meaning in things etc.. Lol
I've been told I think too much. But if your not thinking, your a non conscious being to me!
Anyhoo a day in the life heh!
Wish this rain would go away, I feel trapped when it rains!
I better go to bed, hopefully tomorrow my brain has recalibrated 😁
I'm saying hello to be over & out for now!

Re: Night Shift

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and to anyone who is still about now.

I just sifted back over the thread (posts) from last night until now, sorry I don't have the concentration to post individual replies but I have read all of them. I just worry I will miss someone out, I am not thinking that well tonight. I guess, I am bit anxious tonight and worried I am going to struggle to sleep, I have been better the last few days. I think part of it is that I have done too much yesterday and today. I am not sure what I am doing tomorrow but I mite have some chill out time tomorrow.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

I guess that your husband being surprisingly good is great - and you knew he'd go straight to bed

Ah - did he get dinner in bed? - no need to answer that

If I miss my medication - now and again I might - rarely - I get major pain - I don't even want to eat - what I take is slow release - so missing a dose can be well - it hurts big time - so I am careful -

And in the event of such an oversight - I don't want to eat

We are all different but in some ways - we can also be alike

Thinking of you

Re: Night Shift

Hi again @Shaz51

Ah so - I seemed to have missed this bit - you are the opposite to anaemic - I have heard of this but I don't know what the symptoms would be

Wishing you the best - you have enough going on - that's for sure

Re: Night Shift

Oh thats awful @BlueBells about the soap incident. I'm going to try and sleep now, chat tomorrow, probably. Nice to meet you, by the way. Are you new on here? I forgot to ask. Sleep well.

Hope you sleep well too @Faith-and-Hope.

Goodnight everyone.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I don't think I get around to everyone - or every post - the amount of traffic through here is amazing and I love it

But I only deal with as much as I can comfortably - and I am thrilled that I can come in here and find a lot has been happening - and just jump in anywhere and find people are about

The page subscriptions will fill me in - this is not meant to be a chore

But it is great to have so many different things happening all the time

Enjoy reading and write what is comfortable -

Decadian
