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

.. try Lion breaths phps @plasmo

Here’s how to do lion’s breath:

Find a comfortable seated position.
Lean forward slightly, bracing your hands on your knees or the floor.
Spread your fingers as wide as possible.
Inhale through your nose.
Open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue, and stretch it down toward your chin.
Exhale forcefully, carrying the breath across the root of your tongue.
While exhaling, make a “ha” sound that comes from deep within your abdomen.
Breathe normally for a few moments.
Repeat lion’s breath up to 7 times.
Finish by breathing deeply for 1 to 3 minutes.
