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.

Ah @PeppiPatty

Cigarettes, someting that I quit 19years ago, actually I was 21!

Yes, my daughter does like high school, she has some really nice friends and although she is a terrible speller her english teacher loves her stories. We are so blessed by this teacher, all she does is encourage the kids.

Re: Night Shift

I have to front up and say goodnight. I am feeling anxious and meds are making me tired. If I try and fight the tired feeling I feel nauseous.

Thanks everyone for the company and sweet dreams ♡♡
