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.

Leaving here Monday week but lots happening before then i.e. removalist, vinnie's pickup of furniture not going, tip runs, things I'm giving away to be collected etc etc and lots of cleaning. Luckily my brother and his partner are coming to help on the last weekend and with the drive to get there.

Re: Night Shift

I'll go to bed when I'm ready to ok. I'm probably in an earlier time zone than you are @darrenhayes and have also spent a long time in bed reading and then trying to sleep already, as well as an hour nap early in the evening. Just sayin', no drama. Someone else who feels like chatting may pop up if you don't want to.

What does jeezaloo mean?

Re: Night Shift

@darrenhayes No need for the apology. It's probably me should apologize. I'm in the top end of oz and it's only just after 1am here. And I haven't been on here at night for ages. Used to be here a lot. Don't have anything on tomorrow morning so I'm not stressing about having a rare late night. Was just looking at my lists - there are 5 different ones! - and ticking some more things off which is good.

I do have bipolar 1 so I'm aware there are lots of potential triggers at this time with such a huge change looming, but I'm monitoring myself closely. Tonight's sleeplessness is probably down to an extra coffee I had in the afternoon. Usually I only have 1 early in the day, if at all.

Tell me a bit about yourself if you want to. Have you been in the forums for long? I've been coming and going for over 2 years now and think they're great.
