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

@BlueBay and others - I went down hard with a cold overnight and have just been wiped out all day. Fell asleep every time I sat down. Hoping it's not also a bipolar crash after all the weeks of being awake on and off throughout the night ( a known trigger for me). Also hoping all the resting and snoozing today doesn't stop me from sleeping tonight.

Hi @eth

We have had a pyjama day here today. The kids have basically stayed in bed today, and I went back to bed for the afternoon too. All travelling on low batteries I think.

i hope you do sleep okay tonight, and you have just been recharging ❤️
