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

if under a few days any loss usually mostly fluid @plasmo tape measure can be better. I did gutbuster in 90s , dropped a heap. old GP they said dropped twice what I did, showed me their belt loops. they did 2 main things. can of baked beans and hour walk every day lost like 8-10 inches off waist.

anyway tried everything in my own way last few years and got nowhere. Bacon is addictive. never used to eat it. anyways see how physio goes tomorrow, if can get exercise up. Cant hurt. Instead of walking like a week here then having a week to a month off as back sore.

living on packet soups atm. if get hungry, have one, not much good in them, but hot and filling. add a bit of chili. might help lol

Going to take meds and crash here. have to be out the door in just under 6 hours at latest . so rather try and spend as much of what's left asleep lol
