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.

Hey @plasmo it cooled off a fair bit here last night, supposed to be 10 deg min this morning, guess house still holding some heat from few days ago tho

..may have passed course had to do to get govt subsidy on another course signed up for. ok they said my English was crap lol. perhaps I didnt take it that seriously.

usual DES hassles, made some progress yest afternoon.

Slept 4 hours solid for first time in weeks prob .woke as too cold think. then got more bedding based on phone app, not on how feel and was bit warm so got up and am finishing off cooking a roast.

I read the other day it was normal to get up for a few hours at midnight in pre industrial age.. people would go visiting others, do stuff etc then crash again lol like a night time reverse siesta lol ...
