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 If I lay in bed too long I have one cat who tells me it’s time to get up by sitting on the pillow and ‘talking’. Other cat starts making biscuits on one shoulder.

my quiet places where I go to get away are looking over the ocean or being amongst wildlife and nature. Couple hr drive one way for me to either is main downside

Re: Night Shift

@PeppyPatti honey, as an ex smoker each time someone suggested I quit smoking I would dig my heels in and smoke more. Hubby will quit (I am praying for him to 😍) when he chooses. I would love for him to stop yesterday too, but smoking is one of those awful habits that even after 3 years I still miss. I know I will never smoke again as the smell now turns me off but every now and then my mum and I both think, I'd like to have just one.

You are a good wife sweetheart, and I know he is lucky to have you. I don't have to tell you to keep encouraging him because you already know that.

I adore you my Pepster, you are such a sweet addition to my Sane fam xo
