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

Oh yes, music is very relaxing, i listen to a lot of meditation music, i find it helps me calm down after my panic attacks.

What sort of music do you like? i like all music, some more than others, i seem to gravitate to 90's alternative. i guess that is what i grew up with, it reminds me of better days.

Re: Night Shift

yeah i like ambient and meditation stuff. i'll listen to most things except really poppy stuff, some country etc. the 90s stuff gets me down a bit so i dont go there often

Re: Night Shift

Yes i am not into pop music either, to childish.

Yes i do understand, i think that is why i listen to it, i seem drawn to sad music, even in classical music i am drawn to sad songs. i don't know why, i guess it just suits my mood.

i have a playlist on my PC i have a variety of music and seperate it into my moods, so what ever state i am in i just select that play list.

i listen to music 8-10 hours a day, it is the only thing that keeps me grounded and stoppes the panic attacks, it helps to quieten my thoughts too.

Hi my virtual mum how are you 🙂

Gosh it is a bit late for choir practice isn't it?

I hope you enjoyed your time and managed to get some practice in and spend time with your friends.
