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.

Hi @Appleblossom, glad to see you. Feelings of dread when I tried to sleep earlier so had to get back up. Occasionally I get this night fear kind of thing. Haven't had it for a little while. What are you up to in this very early morning?

Re: Night Shift

@MazaritaI have had feelings of dread when trying to lie in bed and sleep and not being able to .. it seemed to totally dominate my life ... it was also very unproductive. I am just doing a little research.

I had a good talk for a couple of hours with son and then we both said we would wind down. I dont think I will be up as late as I was last night with plab

Re: Night Shift

@Appleblossom, yes, it's not a good feeling. I've been sleeping with the bathroom light on lately as the dark has been too unnerving and that's been helping me settle. But tonight every tiny little sound was frightening me and then when there was no sound that was unnerving me too. Tried deep breathing to no effect. Only thing for it was to get up and calm down. I've taken something to help me get there now and can feel it start to taking effect.

@plasmo, cool that you have others to chat too in the night too.
