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

@SleepyPanda thank you for the message. I suppose I must have accidentally done something wrong here. Very sorry if that is the case. I actually do not usually use email at all as it overwhelms me and people were starting to give me a hard time on it as I was not getting back to people there due to my very bad health state when they expected.

A psychologist I used to see, told me to tell people that I do not use email so I do not get harassed due to it (and I then stay away from it). (I got told I could stop any harassment from there by just not using it).

I currently due to my memory issues, do not even know its password (I keep forgetting it and confuse it another reason why I don't like using it, I found it hard to use). Is that an issue to me being here? I'll look at it when I'm up to trying to work out what my password is again but right now that would just stress me out more trying to figure it all out when I currently dont remember.

Re: Night Shift

@SleepyPanda I just managed to get into my email, fortunately I had not logged out properly yesterday so was still signed in and have just been able to read your mail you sent.

" It looks like your username potentially contains part of your real name "


No.. My first name (real name) is not "Tania" , so may I please keep my nic Taniaaust1,

I do though use it on Health support sites online. I'm going to have a hard time remembering what nic I'm using where if health sites start making me get a new nic for EACH one. May I keep the nic please?

I'm already got 3 different nics which I use online and already get confused with when I'm trying to sign into places (with the 3 nics and 3 different passwords being used in different combos) but I don't want to use one my other two as they would identify me to people who do not know already about my health stuff (though they dont even use any persons name in them and are just made up words and to you would look fine but I keep my other online personas separate from places I talk about my health issues in.

Having lots of different nics is a real problem to those who have memory issues.

Re: Night Shift

@SleepyPanda is there a way to contact mods here without having to type on someones thread?

I just had a look at nics others are using and within less than 1min found a someones actual photo of themselves tied to a social media website with their nic here (I personally do not use normal social media sites). Looks like lots of people here are using nics they use at other sites too.

Thought I should bring this to your attention seeing this subject is coming up where nics are used on other sites.

Re: Night Shift

@SleepyPanda sorry I would of put it in same post but I just thought of it, my thoughts dont all happen at once. I have a suggestion to make. Maybe the site should give everyone a joining number when they join and then use that number for everyone's name to keep the site anomyous.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Angels333,

I've been using sane forums for just over three years now. I'm currently in bed but despite being exhausted, I can't sleep.
