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.

@TAB

hey, i hope you can get some sleep. i'm bed too. i feel exhausted mentally and physically but can't sleep, i have insomnia. i was thinking of maybe going to a sleep clinic or something. i haven't tried any meds for it. i was given something beginning with m, i don't know if i can say the name here but it's something we already have in our brains apparently. i didn't take it because i was too scared to.

and i'm struggling a lot. i made a thread about it if you want to read it and reply but no pressure. i hope you're ok too. so far i've only been on this thread and my own.
