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

LOL Does everyone know that too much screen time can bring on insomnia...but decreasing melatonin levels? Sleep when you feel tired...

Re: Night Shift

I'm tired enough @Froginthepnd but my scolitis is somewhat painful the last few days and finding a position that's less painful is difficult at the moment. A bit of a bummer wheñ I need to get up at 4.30 for an early shift! I'll sleep soon enough with or without screen exposure.

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone,

I'm dropping in to send you night nights.....

Love the messages that @Faith-and-Hope is sending. @Mazarita is right, they are inspiring quotes!

I just want @Angels333 to know that there are times in everyones life here on Sane forums

sometimes for longer than a month

when you need only good stuff given to you and it is how it is. Please just say to yourself;

"I need to embrace good stuff for a little while and feel love and care going through your own self ,"

I've certainly been there with Sane Forums for weeks; esp. when I visit my son East of Australia.

Who else has been where @Angels333 is?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @PeppiPatty Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've been there. Can you explain a bit more?

Hi @Kurra I hope your promotion goes really well and you get the comfort and rest you need tonight.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth

For many years, I was struggling with my own times of mental ill health. It was difficult for me. I kept on not quite realising how to get help or understand that it was only me that could get my own support and I made many mistakes and actually ....( still do)

When I joined Sane Forums, I was very shakey and upset, my husband and I had recently seperated from his self medicating with his times of mental ill health and I just needed people being very kind to me.

Then......I met a person who started stalking me and my oldest son fell into hospital on the other side of Australia with his first Psychotic break. I personally didnt need to feel any judgement and found it too hard to give out too much care to others.

I apologise if my message is not written well, can I change it somehow??

Thanks for asking though @eth It made me feel cared for....

Re: Night Shift

That makes total sense now @PeppiPatty. I didn't know that much about your past. You are doing so much better now and write really supportive posts to people.

Sorry I took a while to get back to you.
