Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

@eth, one three hour chunk so far. Gotta get up early for another dental appointment tomorrow so hoping I won't last long with this wakeful time tonight.

Hi @plasmo, how are you going?

Re: Night Shift

A good night so far, @eth, no dreams that I can remember and no other weirdness. Didn't end up taking the new med after all because psychiatrist forgot to put dosage on it. I know he's overseas until next Tuesday so will have to wait until then to find out. Might settle a bit in the meantime with any luck. Great to read you had a good day and evening.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, gets like that in the middle of the night sometimes eh? That's part of why I started this night shift thread.
