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

Hi @eth, @plasmo,

Yeah, about 4 hours so far tonight, so better than usual. Tried to just stay in bed when I woke but no going back to sleep so here I am. Had a crook neck on waking too, moan moan. At least I had a shower last night so I'm ready to go to cooking class today.

How's it going tonight for you?

Re: Night Shift

I've also had about 4 hours so far in 3 sleeps. Feeling pretty tired still so won't stay on here for very long. Yay you being ready for cooking class @Mazarita. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

Re: Night Shift

@eth, sorry it's taken three sleeps to get four hours again for you. Good idea to just take just a quick break here tonight if you think you can get some more in. Thanks for the well wishes on the cooking class. Anything on for tomorrow with you?

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita Have a Dr's ap't in the morning, some scripts to fill, then I just want to finish the packing I didn't do today. I will put my head down again now I think. Hope the rest of your night is good to you and that you manage to get to your class in the morning.

Nite nite.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, good on you for hanging in there. Did you go for a walk today?
