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

Hi @TAB

Things were a bit strange over the weekend so I am wondering if you have been to the dentist yet and had anything done

And if you did - I hope everything is okay now

Re: Night Shift

I don't actually know yet @Former-Member. Sounds weird doesn't it. I do know it will be ultra busy but that suits me fine. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to talk about the type of work I do.
I can tell you that I was teaching music this afternoon but that's my part-time job.

Hope you sleep well tonight. 💕💜💕

Just eating mostly clean .... lotsa fruit and veggies, whole grains, legumes, adding in bits and pieces of other foods .... not too rigid .... drinking water mostly .... lotsa walking .... decent sleep ... (!) ..... de-stress strategies .... occasional glass of wine ... laughter ... music ... dance .... nature ... hugs - real or virtual - it's all in the good thoughts .... faith and hope 😏 .... dark chocolate .... occasional anything else I have a craving for ....

Sorta 80 - 90% good balance plus 10 - 20% "hang loose Mother Goose" ....

Did I mention de-stress .... ??

Oh .... and art .... an elixir of life, that is ..... ❣

Re: Night Shift

Not sure what you mean @Decadian was 'things being strange' related to me and my dental problem?

There was a bit of a birthday party on here if that's what you mean re 'strange' . My tooth is/ was fine, went to dentist last week and going again soon.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @TAB

I am glad your tooth is glad - I have been thinking of you with that

Things were strange at my end - I have been ill with sinusitis and then over the weekend I only got a few posts in my in-box - and yet when I got into the site and looked around I found plenty had been going on

So it was a glitch - if I had been feeling better I might have looked into it and found I just didn't get many emails because of that

I am recovering from sinusitis - but it has left me really washed out -

You've been unwell for a long time. I hope you feel better soon. Are you eating well and getting enough sleep? Lots of water? 💗
