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.

Not really @Faith-and-Hope,
We lock front door now as he can open. He could only venture to back yard which is fully fenced. All my children are pretty close, I think he'd start crying by my side. It would bring me round!
The last time I fainted was at the dentist. One son in chair, one in utero. The other who's food I stood on in the fall!
My eldest screamed them all to action 'oh no get the doctor'. Lol
As I look back now it was a comedy act.
Another time I was at home after birth. Middle of night. I just lay down on floor until it passed. No one was none the wiser!!
I'll be ok.
I have chiropractor today. It might help too.
Hope everything is ok in your world too?
I've not been able to keep up of late with all goings on.
Just post here & there.
☺🍵..licorice tea for me this morning.

😂 ..I think when my physical body starts giving me strong heads up...I'm listening.
I think society places a lot of go.go.go demands!
Hope your hubby is well?
It must be very taxing being a carer. I think it's a natural way in many. ❤
