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

@TAB i can't sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. Hopefully you can get some more sleep soon.

Oh that's a long trip to have to make but I hope it's worth it.

Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

@TAB at least you still get some sleep during the daytime. Hopefully you can get some more soon.

Good luck with the check up. Having to stay overnight sucks but you'll be home before you know it.

Night night.

Re: Night Shift

@TAB I'm watching my TV show. I'm getting a little bit sleepy so I'm going to try and get some zzz's in while I can.

Enjoy your cuppa and hope sleep comes soon after that 😊
