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

I dont watch much news on tele .. but gloss over news in emails in my inbox and switching on idiot box a few times a week.

I did politics at uni .. that was enough!

But on the other hand we dont want to be so out of the loop .. we dont know when there is a bush fire next door.

Being a mum .. with a reclusive son .. totally absorbed online with headphones in his ears in his bedroom .. I started to worry about that .. so took some measure to bring BBQ smells and burning off smells to his attention .. and he figured out that keeping in touch with the world was a part of life. Relief .. as it took a while ..

Re: Night Shift

I never have watched normal tv news as an adult .. as a child we only had tv for a little while ... it was never the centre of our home and still isnt ...

I watch SBS ABC and NITV and selected movies.

Every few months I have a blob in fron of the box blow out .. and watch anything like a zombie .. get it out of my system and go back to my books music and yes laptop ...

Re: Night Shift

pretty much the same here, not much appeals to me on the other stations. they just seem to be about really extroverted people

Re: Night Shift

I dont feel particularly interested in their antics, or jealous. I dont aspire to be like them. This forum has more pulling power for me.
