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.

@TAB That’s really good you’ve known some blind people. It’s really impressive thwt one guy was. Judo champion. 🙂

Its not a silly question at all and I don’t mind you asking.

I use software on computer called JAWS. It speak what is written on the screen for me. Then I use voice to text to type up what I want to say back. It’s very good modern technology very big help to be able to use computer, tablet and phone. I got the software through NDIS cause not cheap. I also have a very big magnifier that speaks too so I can read books, magazines, letters etc. The magnifier was nearly $8000 paid by NDIS and I really love it because before I had it was too hard to read books and magazines.

@PeppyPatti thank you for giving me a reason to have a chuckle today! I needed it.

Re: Night Shift

@Appleblossom I agree turn up the music and turn down the drama.

Do you play music at home too? I’d love to hear you play. Music is a really happy place for me and I like to dance too. My daughter plays guitar, piano and violin. When she visits she always plays music for me I just love it.

I know it’s been a rough few days with the weekend stuff that happened. I’m really hoping it all settles for you and that you can have some peace of mind too.
