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

Work and more work. It's just about the sum total of my life. 10 hour days and high volume to achieve but it does keep me out of mischief.

What have you got up to today @plasmo ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I got to work 3.5 hrs late. Big woopsie that one but the day went well and I made up the hours but I didn't leave until just after 6.30 this evening.
Like last night my physical discomfort is making it difficult to sleep. Never mind.
I'll certainly make certain I get to work on time tomorrow. 23.57 is still today.
I'm glad D3 got to school and completed her exams. It's a real battle when our darlings dig their heels in like that.
How are you doing?

Re: Night Shift

Getting out for a good walk makes a difference. Have you got any bushland nearby @plasmo?

Re: Night Shift

Much better at this end of the day @Kurra. The afternoon has been slow.

My Dad is here from the country for knee surgery tomorrow. I am taking him, and staying at the hospital for the day. We have an early start, and my WH is actually going to be taking D3 to school, and S2 to Art class .... He is going to have to work his strict daily regimen in around these two .... I am actually relieved to have the day off from all three of them !

Re: Night Shift

Well @Faith-and-Hope and @plasmo
It's time for me to turn out this light and listen to the radio as I let the sandman do his trick. As it is I'll get a max of 4.5 hours sleep if I'm lucky.
I'm pushing a few boundaries so today I need to pull my routines back in to line.
Sleep well tonight 💜
I really hope today is a good one for you both.
Take care.
