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

Lucky u. This morning I felt tired but I manage to keep going. Been logging sleep, I seem to run on little. But it's a spiral that goes downward. I'm keeping on top of some things, getting hurt by life on others. Hard fix. Tried. Its made out to be me. Then I just shut down..I guess as coping style

No over did quota today. Does coffee help sleep u think? It grounds me in day, so I'm not flighty in thought.

Re: Night Shift

Poor bugger @Former-Member nothing is set in stone, guess.. is it worth trying 'fix' again? or a different one?

Re: Night Shift

Thanks that's nice! ☕.I guess I'm learning not to react in accusation ..I'm a pretty calm person maybe over sensitive at times, I try speak more of hurts, maybe I hold loads...just tricky, past hurts probably clutter thought...I just end up holding it to degree.

Re: Night Shift

I should probably do some kind of meditation..before sleep..never been good at that..I need to change thoughts if I'm on that path..maybe I should go get a new crystal or something tomorrow..seriously!
