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.

Hi @Angels333

I love your avatar - really spiffy

Ischemic Heart Disease sounds pretty terrible - I guess they will put you on statins

In the meantime two grains are good to incorporate into your diet - oats - porridge - and barley

You can start eating them straight away if you like them - I have heard that statins work but I think you need further testing before starting taking them - but porridge for brekky and barley in your soup - good start - if you like them

@Decadian How wonderful that your father was/is proud of you. Are you still planning to go to the war memorial on the anniversary, or do you have another treat in mind now? You certainly deserve one.

Hi @Angels333, I hope you will take it easy and be gentle with yourself with this news about the change to your health status. Sending kind wishes for the best possible outcome with it over the longer term.

Hey @plasmo, heard any good jokes lately? Just one of your trademark quips would do me good.
