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.

Thanks for telling me about this show. It's quite relaxing. I'm going to turn the computer off now and listen to the radio with my eyes shut. Hope to sleep some more and the same for you @plasmo

Hi @plasmo and anyone else awake. Had my usual few hours sleep and am up again. That's usual at the moment anyway. My overly intense dreams have abated for now, thank goodness, but still waking up after only a few hours. Because of the broken sleep, I can't resist having little naps in the day or early evening too, @plasmo. Doesn't help but, with medications, I'm falling asleep where I'm sitting otherwise. What's happening out there for other night shifters?

Hi @Mazarita I'm back again. Tried to go back to sleep but it didn't work. I had a big day yesterday. How was yours?
