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 @eth. Am travelling well, thank you for asking. A lovely, calm big sunny day here. 27 expected. Couldn't help but be happy. (With thanks to my 4 medications). Enjoying a cup of tea. Are you bursting with excitement? I am excited for you too! Will miss your considered, compassionate and helpful posts. Let your hair down @eth...

Hi @comet, @Angels, @Faith-and-Hope @Snuchu. Good to 'see' you all here this morning. Good luck with therapy @Angels333.

Will catch up again later but hoping your day is kind to you.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @comet. Great to hear your cheer. It's raining constantly and cold down here😁 Thanks for your positive comments before😊 I think I'd like to be outside up there enjoying a cup of tea with you. Weeding in the cold and rain is not quite doing it for me at the moment😝

Re: Night Shift

Yes I agree @Angels333. And sometimes you don't see the benefits for ages and sometimes you walk away feeling like your getting it together. I used to sleep for a couple of hours after my sessions. I still do sometimes😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Sorry to hear about your weeding conditions @Former-Member. Just do the best you can. Hopefully real estate agent/owner will understand. You can only be expected to do so much. Then think...
Its all over! Imagine how good you will feel then! Then a new chapter begins, and you have positive plans in place... Humble apologies for not responding to your shout out the other day..really am sorry! Best wishes to you @Former-Member.
