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

@plasmo, any idea why you are such a night owl too? Do you just prefer the night?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, I relate to preferring the night and quiet usually. Long habits are hard to change too. Radio in the background tonight?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, sounds fairly friendly to listen to in the middle of the night.

@Appleblossom, partner is in his room asleep. Today my emotions have been a bit up and down, with some paranoia lurking, and mind has been racing. Was having morbid thoughts about death and supernatural stuff when trying to sleep. Just another manifestation of a weird day I think.

Re: Night Shift

Goodnight, @Appleblossom. I think I'll try for some sleep too now. Hope the rest of your night is okay, @plasmo. I may be back again if the same thing happens when I hit the pillow this time around.
