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.

Goodnight @Former-Member.

I hope you sleep well. I just wanted to say it is more difficult to make friends as we get older so it's definitely not anything to do with you. Will chat later 💜🤗😴😴😴😴😴

I guess everyone's gone to sleep. I'm so incredibly tired, can barely think to type, yet I can't get to sleep. How odd. Anyone still here? 💗

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @Former-Member .... 😊

How did you go last night ? A hot shower can help to relax your body when your mind is tired but you can't relax physically .... but maybe you had tried that already ...

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Going to try and go back to sleep now. Got up to get my girl off to school, she's very unwell. Back to bed for both of us. I always have a shower before bed. Did pilates stretches, tried mindfulness, everything. Sooooooo frustrating. I think it has alot to do with what I eat. I'm super sensitive to preservatives etc. I have been trying to be super careful what I eat. Last night I had some things I probably shouldn't have. I am stressed about my mother etc., she's not good at all and a few other things are really bothering me. Anyway, thanks for asking. I read that you got rid of the cold, that's good. Are you feeling ok today? You must be getting very excited.

We had an incredible storm here late yesterday afternoon. Had to drive through it to get home.

I really should try and sleep now. xoxoxo

Hi @Jacques

It's good to see you my friend - I am glad things are working out with your girlfriend

You are right - communication is the key
