Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

Hi @plasmo, I'm here too now, at least for a while. What's been happening with you today?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, brisk walk sounds good. I was indoors all day today, bucketing rain and wild wind all day. What's on the radio tonight if you are listening to it?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, there's just the sound of whirring computer, vague ringing in my ears and fingers on keyboard here (as usual). Lol. How have your anxiety levels been today?

Re: Night Shift

Good to hear the anxiety has settled a bit.

I'm taking off again now, to wind down before trying before more sleep. Hope you get some soon too.
