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

I've been a bit down @Former-Member.

You are right its not like me to sleep so long.

I'll just see how I go this week and mite give my dr a call tomorrow or Tuesday.

Even though I have been travelling well, I think a hospital respite mite be a good idea for me.

Hi there @TAB 😊🐱
I read somewhere that your tooth/mouth is really bad. 😮
Sounds very painful, is it? You might need antibiotics.

Re: Night Shift

That's good. I know how painful it can be.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @TAB. Just took my night tablets but not sure if my body will allow the sleeping tablets to work after my 18 hour sleeping session.
@TAB I'm glad to hear you are going to the dentist tomorrow. Not everyone's favorite place, but you will feel better for it.
How are you all tonight?
I have a pretty quiet week planned, but will have to head into larger town to pick up my mums & my best friends daughters birthday presents. My son, my sister and I will have to plan a day to have a belated birthday dinner for my mum. Seeing as she was sick on the day.
