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.

Hiya @Former-Member yep feeling a bit chatty if you can't tell 😝 The rain makes it really difficult to get out and do anything. We had sunshine and the rain stopped this afternoon which was nice. Really pleased that you're feeling more stable, that's always a good thing. Hoping tomorrow is a good day for you😊💜

The retreat was pretty good thanks, @Former-Member. Would have liked longer than an overnighter, but it was still worthwhile. Back to a flurry of activity for the past week, but today was very much a couch day. How you going? (Sorry, haven't caught up with the back,of of posts!) 😜

Yeah it's hard to catch up on back posts some days @Former-Member . I'm ok today but I've had a couple of difficult weeks. Still haven't started driving lessons with my son yet :face_with_rolling_eyes: but I hope to now that football season is over. I have a pretty busy week coming up so hopefully it's a good one.

Good for you having a couch day to recover. I hope your week ahead is a good one 😊💜

Thanks @Former-Member. ☺️ Ah yes, the dreaded driving lessons. I've been going through that with my daughter this year. She's just about finalised all the hours now (phew!), thanks to all the trips to and from school, but she still has to wait another three months till she turns 17 and can do the test. I gotta say, life is getting a lot easier now that she has friends with their licences! 😎👍

Hello @Former-Member and everyone. I obly woke up at 7pm tonight - yep that was a good 18 hour sleep. My chest feels better. Still a slight cough but on the mend. Ribs not so sore.
So I'm desperately trying to catch up on posts I've missed all day.
I hope you are doing well today.

Yes @Former-Member. My son's girlfriend has her license and a car and I trust her, I totally agree with 😎👍. My taxi trips have halved. 😃

Re: Night Shift

Glad you are well rested and on the mend @utopia. I'm guessing there's not much point asking you about your day though😝. I really hope that you feel better soon. 💜😊💐

Hi Guys,

I've spend most of the day in bed, I think I needed it.

How is everyone else?
