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

Thanks @Kurra. 😊

I hope you sleep well, seeing as it's a new job. What sort of work, if you don't mind saying? I understand if you prefer not to say on here.

School starts back tomorrow for my girl. Back in a routine again. Have to try and get to bed earlier. 😯

Re: Night Shift

Still trying to get on top. Went downhill last week. Having a bit of trouble getting back up again. Trying to go on long fast walks to help with sleep. Thanks for asking @Shaz51. 💕

Have you been ok?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member 😊

I didn't get much sleep overnight ... but did doze for another couple of hours this morning .... so not ideal, but an okay number of hours tallied ....

Had words with S2 just now about last night and cut thru all the excuse-making .... told him to step up for me .... less attitude back at me at this time of day and technology-free .... 🤔:face_with_rolling_eyes:😕 Yeah .... he was away with WH last week ... and the controlling behaviours are mind-bending .... but he can't pay it forward onto me ... (!) .... it was his choice to go, and the mind-games are part of the territory till WH is sprung.

Hi everybody ..... 😊

Long weekend for our Queenslanders .... ✅

Hugs @Faith-and-Hope 💗

You must be very strong to be able to cope with everything. You're amazing.

How do you de-tox? Do you just drink water/juice, do you eat at all? Do you take any de-tox tonics or similar?
