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

No @Mazarita havent been down yet. Because last night was so bad and I had to go into city this morning. I came home exhausted at about 2pm and slept til 6 .. got up to make dinner .. so I am topsy turvy timewise.

Was thinking about the weird co-incidence that the movie my son wanted to see, with my vouchers, was the movie that we knew the .. child star .. so was I getting a rush from knowing famous people .. 6 degrees of separation and all that .. was it as simple and dumb and mindless as that .. I dont know .. I should have been able to sleep well the night before ... but stressing over the sleep issue just makes it worse.

Re: Night Shift

Night night, @Former-Member. Sleep well.

@Appleblossom, might have been as simple as that, as you say, but that's okay. I sometimes get a superficial buzz from the same kind of thing. Superficial can be where the fun lies sometimes. I think it takes all depths of reality to make up an existence.
