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.

@plasmo, there's also another one I just saw that is specifically aiming at training and employment for people on the autism spectrum. Could be worth giving them a call:

Re: Night Shift

I'm waiting for a phams worker too at the moment @plasmo. There is a bit of a waiting list so if you think it's worth a go might be worth putting your name down straight away. 😊 You can always change your mind and cancel later if you want.

Re: Night Shift

I'm hoping to get someone to help me get into volunteering. I need some support and encouragement at the moment to do that and help to work out where to volunteer. I'm pretty scared about it all so hoping having someone there to support will help. @plasmo
