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

Yes... scared. But it can't possibly be as horrible as my last job. I've jut never done this role before, so I'm very nervous and don't know what I'll be doing. But also very excited- it's a super great opportunity for me!!

Re: Night Shift

Glad you had a good day @Former-Member Not so good about the headache. I do stretches every day, helps with headache and back ache.
Raining all day here today. Except when we went for a long walk. 😀💕

Re: Night Shift

First days are like that unfortunately @Former-Member. 💕
When an anxious thought comes, try deep breathing and tell yourself, "I'll be ok" 😊
I'll be thinking of you. All the best. Do you have to drive far?

Hi @Former-Member

I am feeling better now - just washed out

I had no appetite but I was having plenty of water to drink and sleeping a lot -

Today I saw my doctor again - he is glad I am improving - as am I - he told me he was worried because I keep in pretty good shape most of the time - apart from my back - I was too tired to be worried but now I know I was battling

I hope my appetite returns - but I had salmon patties for dinner tonight - and I cooked enough fried rice on Saturday to have for dinner for two nights

Thanks - yes - I will see what I can find from all the smileys I have copied

I like these smileys - thanks for your thoughts - I don't think I have been in the beer garden - do we have an Australian Fortified Wine Garden?
