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

Hey @Former-Member, good to see you. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope you are feeling a bit more on top of things this weekend.

I've just written a message to him to let him know I may be coming down with something, which is true. I've told him I'm still okay to come but just a courtesy to let him know in case he doesn't want to risk it with me. Ball's in his court now.

Hi @Mazarita

Saying that you might be coming down with something also gives you an exit plan if you feel you need it - of course if you find yourself a bit uncomfortable with his company, but also if you find you are just getting tired quickly and want to leave earlier than either of you expected.

Good move imo.

Hope you relax and enjoy the evening 🌺
