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

Hey @Former-Member
Have a really careful think about everything, yes everything you had done in the last couple of days before you crashed. Whst did you eat? How much sleep did you get? Did you go to the shops? What for? Who did you talk to irl? What did you talk about? What colours were you wearing? Did you have a shoeer? and and and.

Try to think back to the time you crashed before the one this week. Is there any pattern? If you can't remember it doesn't matter but how about keeping a detailed journal such as I described above for the next month or so. If you do identify a recurring pattern you could be on to something important.

OK I'll shut up now! I'm an ideas person. I just make sure I'm not the person who has to do the work! !! 😂🎶💕💕🎶

..might be on a different track here @Kurra but 'hungry tired dirty' as in asking self can have more merit than might be imagined could throw in a few others for checklist as well maybe

Re: Night Shift

List is incomplete @TAB You can always throw more on to the list.
I did this for 18 months and learnt heaps about myself. 🎶
