Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

good on you! @plasmo i'm working on getting mine to that time too, it takes time hey. you're making progress, that's huge 😊

one thing that slightly helps me with waking up is that i immediately open my curtains to let the sun in at my first alarm. even though i don't get out of bed straight away, the sunlight helps me feel less groggy i guess.

are you good with your sleep hygiene? i never realised how big of an impact it made till last year, i could definitely sense a difference.

Re: Night Shift

i've made more effort lately, doc gave me melatonin, without that i probably wouldn't have been able to make much progress.

Dear @rav3n @Mazarita @plasmo @TAB @Meowmy

so………I jump out of bed almost straight away. I know. It’s what happens when you’re a single parent with small children and haven’t trained myself to stay …….. in bed.
