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 @Former-Member, tried doing a little bit of editing within the past half hour but not getting into it tonight. This new project I'm working on is proving difficult. How are you tonight? Sleep well so far?

Re: Night Shift

Hi guys 😊

@Former-Member

I have just surfaced from about a five hour sleep, but like @Mazarita, I'm still sleepy and likely to nod off again ...... which would be good as it is still very early here ..... and the day ahead is a busy one.

Last week was full of unsettled nights tho. I just accept them as my body doing what it needs to do, and try to just relax as much as possible while I am awake, so at least I am resting when not sleeping .... resting has an accumulative effect, so it counts towards sleep anyway .....

How are you going ?

@Snuchu

there will be ups and downs as you start to feel feelings that the green was blocking out a bit ..... easy does it ...... those baby steps are so important ...... I think I would be curling up in bed a bit and just resting my way through till your day out with your Dad.

Can you see if he can teach you a word or two of your aboriginal language ?

Hi @Mazarita

Re: Night Shift

I have slept well @Mazarita. I've been sleeping too much. I don't seem to have a middle ground with sleep. When I'm in breakdown and highly emotional and depressed I become so exhausted. Is your new project for someone or for you?

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope Hopefully you'll get some more sleep soon then. Are you feeling the excitement of an upcoming wedding. That still feels so far away for me even though my son is living with his girlfriend and likely to marry her. He has a few years of study to go before a job.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, the videos are all personal projects but they involve adapting writing, music and video from other people, so in a way a mix of for me and them both.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, @Decadian 🙂
