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.

Hi @Appleblossom .... 😊

How are you doin' tonight ? 🌷💜

Is that the calming lavender dough you're talking about with the nail biting there .... ? Made some with D1 when we were down south at the start of the year, just for fun .... and I tell you what ... it's hard to put it down .... ! .... lol .... works like a stress ball, especially a piece about that size, and you end up walking around with it squashing and re-squashing it in your hand ....

Yep .... reckon it would help you stop biting your nails ....

Reckon I could have used a ball of that stuff in my hand today .... 😏
