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

true re believing stuff @Former-Member. Anyway, tis wat tis, I need to move a lot more than I do. I never played sport. Won sprint at school sports day grade 1 and was always stronger than most though school without exercising and apart from a few active years on and off oh and physical work, well I spend a lot of time on the lounge lol. Sure if I could get self moving it would help my state of mind der lol

Re: Night Shift

Brilliant news @TAB! Sounds familiar - medical /physical. ... you'll manage it. Grim determination will get you through the physical. If I can get through the yearly beep test at 66 I'm sure you'll be fine. Yeah, police check and drug test blah di blah. Our drug tests are random and come up quite regularly. Hope you haven't eaten anything with poppy seeds in the last few days. If you have make sure you declare it.
Wish you all the best fella 💕👍🎶

Re: Night Shift

After my phone face planting I became a bit agitated so I got up to have a durrie and relieve my muscles from their stupidity.

Well now I am going to hit the sack and stay there otherwise I'll never manage to get up at 4.15am.
Nite all.

Demolishing a mine plant sounds good. @TAB. All the best with everything. It is good to have a routine. 😀

Yes, dogs love to bark every time I go for a walk too. 🐶🐕 Should take my cat to meow back. 😂🐭🐹
Tried training one of our cats to go on a lead, haha! He was not impressed, lol. Wanted to take him in the car when we went out. Oh well, I tried. 😂


Oh @Former-Member wish I was there to help you with your boys, or help somehow. I know how hard it is not having support.
I'm ok thanks. I guess. 😀 it's draining after a visit to the psychologist, but it will be worth it in the end. Life is to be lived, not endured.
No walk for me last few days. Been exhausted. Bought new bed for daughter this afternoon. Waiting for its arrival. Love making our home nicer. 😊🐞🐝☕🍰🌷🌸🌹🌻

Anyway. Sleeptime soon. Nighty night everyone. 😊💜
