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.

... I am not kidding.. I have been there so many times before, and you are so strong for still being there.. Hang tough, woman, and the easiest way to do that is ..well.. same as the rest do..path of least resistance.. may sound yuk, but put a smile on your face(otherwise there's free ammo for 'them') ask questions get answers, don't take crap, but smile, well on the inside if have to.. I'm with you.. @Kurra

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @TAB..I'm exhausted this morning, my partner got bub up with milk I didn't even hear him stir..but no rest for this bunny, I get my son throwing everything at me, so no choice get up early!! 😱..I feel slow, sick of the 'muuuummmm' I get in mornings with three wanting something. Sheesh let me get my eyes open properly first!
Good you have time to prepare yourself for work mode, although it'll slip back into a routine bofnits own no doubt. Bit like kids, only it a your alarm clock waking you!
I took the natural sleep tablet doc gave me. Think made me feel worse. I'd skipped a few days Maybe I'm better being the type that produces less melatonin, I got no time to sleep, who are these people kidding!!! Lol joking ha,ha
