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.

@Shaz51

Fingers crossed for you sleeping in tomorrow

I feel like I have been on holidays for months - but really not a holiday when you are on sick leave and can't do much - that part really sucks!

I'm doing ok - been an up and down night - spent far too much time on forum earlier and too emotionally involved in the end - just needed some space and time - have had that and now ok.

How are you feeling about the next few days?

@plasmo I get it - was up to 4am this morning rattling on - then had GP appointment in the morning so not much sleep - will get to bed earlier tonight myself

Re: Night Shift

Considering how much time I am spending on here lately - and the lack of any other life - I think I might be able to make it LOL. See you tomorrow night x
