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

I guess i am interested in the forum as a whole and how it works not just in chatting. But @plasmoyou play a little hard to get regarding your interests ... lol .. will you ever fess up .. not cross but conversations get boring unless more is said .. tho maybe you want to keep things short? I try and be polite and do a lot of mirroring ...

Oh @Faith-and-Hope I noticed you are/were a company director too .. in what field?

I went to a literary festival this morning.

had to set alarm for 7.30 though I only had 3 hours sleep. I picked up and drove a lovely lady, so there are advantages to having a car. Then I forgot to go to one of the seesions I had paid for .. but was joined at lunch by some great people and had good chat about the prizes etc .. one of them was a judge that I knew .. then I was in another session freaked out that I had parking fine and left.

Came home was exhausted and crashed .. so ended up having a big afternoon sleep ..
