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.

Hi @Shaz51 how are you and hubby going?

It is so nice to speak again, I have missed you all.

It is raining here for the first time since December last year. So nice.

Take care

Hi, @Shaz51, just sending you a friendly hello.

Hi @Jacques, thanks for the hugs last night. A morning hug back to you. How great that you finally have some rain. It's a rainy Sunday here too. I like the feeling of gentle rain on days like today, seems to calm down my wired nerves.

Hope this day treats everyone well.

Hi @Mazarita,

Yes it is so nice, I find the same thing, it makes me so calm and happy, I miss the rain, as it only rains here a couple of times a year if I am lucky.

It is a good movie day, but I have things to do.

So great to hear you had a nice holiday.

Take care

Jacques

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita I think the sleep problem this week was really down to having extra people in the house and getting a lot more stimulation. Will see how I go over the next week and have an appointment with the Dr coming up. Since my guests left I've really come crashing back down to earth and have been napping day and night so overall have caught up on a lot of that missed sleep. I do practice sleep hygeine most of the time and use breath also and even have a sleeping tablet I can use occasionally if needed but didn't want to use it while I had guests.

Aside from preparing for and then having guests life has just muddled along for me. Have a couple of good friends I see regularly but spend most of my time home alone as they both work a lot. Will be seeing them both on Tuesday.

Glad to hear you feel brighter since your trip away.

Hi @Shaz51 @PeppiPatty amazingly it rained up here today too (top end of northern territory)... strange as it was the official start of the dry season today. Loved it!
