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

Wonderful ideas @Former-Member I might just do some baking with the kids, we havent done any cupcakes in ages and they'd love to decorate some. The candle is a good idea, i love candles too, have quite a few around the house of different scents! have lavender in the bedroom and always try to light that while i read for a few minutes before trying to sleep.
thanks for the great ideas, and i think its great that you are looking after you so well too! something we should all do more of!

I'm just beginning @Former-Member. I think my therapist would do backflips if she read this😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Oh @eth. The hot springs sound devine right now. I am aching from cleaning so much. Think I'd just about give my left arm for that. Mind you my left arm is a bit dodgy and I may have to have surgery on it so it's not much of a sacrifice. Is the weather going to be good?

Re: Night Shift

Goodnight @Mazarita

Sorry to hear that about your arm @Former-Member. Yes the weather is great up here at this time of year. Still pretty hot in the day but it should be really cool down there at night.

I'm not far behind Mazarita in going to bed. Going to watch some TV now. Goodnight folks 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Is anyone here? I can't sleep. Too wired about the weekend away.

Re: Night Shift

I am @eth. But I think I'm being a bit intense and should probably call it a night.

Re: Night Shift

Maybe I'm not seeing some posts @Former-Member I'm not seeing anything here since you said goodnight to me. Are you ok? You can talk to me if you want to.

Re: Night Shift

I think torturous Thursday has struck. I hope to talk to you in the morning @eth. I hope you can relax and get some sleep. I'm going now so I don't have to take my foot out my mouth anymore. Best wishes😊
