Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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 @Snuchu

Fingers crossed you can get some sleep... not enough sleep makes everything ten times harder i find. Is there something soothing that helps to relax you?

Hi @Mazarita I'm glad that you have had a good amount of sleep today, might help to catch up on some of the sleep you've missed out on.

I have a headache, but i've got a roast in the oven for tea tonight and its just starting to smell good.

might have a rest on the lounge while kids watch a movie

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, sounds like a really nice relaxing day aside from the headache. So glad your cold has passed. Maybe the headache is a bit of a leftover from that. Might be worth a bit of pain relief medication just so you can really relax. Anything to help with that seems like it would be good for you. You really deserve it with all the effort you have put in this year.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, usually a bath helps, but it's not helping tonight. My body simply wants to stay awake!

Re: Night Shift

Sound the trumpets! I now have the hair dye in, which means a shower is soon to follow. This feral chick is about to become glam.

@Mazarita
😊 Out at a bridal fair with D1 and her bridesmaids including D2 and D3. Got a glass of champagne with the ticket ....... I reckon that counts as pampering ......... especially as they have all this display furniture lying about to sit on, and food samples coming past ......... must be some clover under us somewhere too !!
