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

I have made a decision. I am taking tonight off work. My back hurts anyway, because I didn't sleep very well last night.

My only concern is whether my Mum is going to wake me up and ask me why I'm not at work, or ask me tomorrow. I haven't thought of an excuse yet. Maybe I could tell her my shift was cancelled. That's IF she notices. Worst case scenario, my manager will call my home phone at 1:00AM, asking where I am. I don't know if they still do that.

Long term, I am a tad mangled.

I am going to have a big dinner and then try and get at least an hour of The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket in.
