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.

Good Morning @TAB
The full moon is on its way, should be in the sky on Monday I think. It was a clear, bright night with lots of stars but I wasn't dressed for the cold. It's just reached 6°C here and I'm staying in bed for a while yet. Brrrrr

I live completely off grid on the edge of a forest in a kind of encampment, so outside is only 3 steps away for me 😂

I hope you are feeling okay after your vaccine shot? I hope you can get some more rest during the day as well.

Take care, RedHorse 🌹🐴

It's after 2am and I'm still not asleep...

What is going on? For real.

I exercised, drank plenty of water, ate little but well throughout the day and took my correct dose of meds on time.

I got 6 hours sleep in two 3ish hour batches last night and that was after an active day. Ended up taking a sedative at 4.30 am just to get back to sleep.

Have just taken another sedative to get me off to sleep now. Fingers crossed.

Freaking awesome.

Wouldn't be so bad if I could sleep in the daytime but perhaps I will tomorrow (I mean today). It is Sunday after all.

I've got to get out of my head...

A movie sounds like a good idea, with headphones I think.

RedHorse coming to you on the night shift. Over and out.
