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

Hi @Decadian

Glad that you were made welcome here.

Just type "Night Shift" or any text you want in the dialogue box and a few threads will jump up. Its not a totally logical trawl through the threads .. but it is one way I navigate the site.

Yes, my online son @Jacques does not yet realise his real worth, but I hope we are growing a village so we can all help each other come through our difficulties.

@PeppiPatty Loved the pic. Thanks. Makes me remember younger fitter days ...lol .. though I was more the simple rock scramble in bare feet after a surf than hanging by a thread in the sky.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51 how are you?

I watched my son accompany his friend singing lieder this morning. Bumped into 2 familiar faces. Was wowed by the boys' performances and liked his new mate's mum. It was a fabulous concert with a high standard for entry $5 ... yay .. We caught an early train out to Camberwell but my ex husband gave us a lift home. I cooked up a big batch of hamburgers and then son and I collapsed about 2.30 and I slept.
