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

ah, yeah,blood flowing a bit and a few distractions helps. @Cuddlebear

I told someone would go to job interview 2hrs away this morning.I should have said no and made up an excuse. not sure what I was thinking. woke 5am, sent an email saying not coming.Been feeling bad about it ever since. dunno why. not the first time I've done it. Something sounds like it makes sense, then at the last minute realise its worst idea in the World.
