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

So good to see your post @Mazarita .. congrats on reaching so many of your goals ... getting out regularly and meeting people is a big gain. I hope the path opens up for you in a beautiful way. A few other threads have become chat threads too .. but many of us are still here.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member If flat & numb is your way of coping .. dont question it .. it totally makes sense .. I hear your weariness. Somehow it doesnt help to tell the teach she a champ .. cos thats what she spends all day saying ... but you are.

Hi @Former-Member, hope you can get some good sleep.

Hi @Appleblossom, I'm relatively ok today thank you, how are you?

Hi @Former-Member, sorry to hear you're feeling numb.

I might be a little numb too but maybe just mentally exhausted, I've been doing a lot of 'psychology writing', I think I'll try for some sleep.

Good night for now to all.
