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.

Hey @Former-Member, sometimes the forum can be stressful, it's true and it's often at moments we least expect it. But, from a selfish point of view, I have been so glad to see you back here. Please try not to let these middle of the night worries put you off. I understand though if you can't help it for now. Sending lots more virtual hugs, smiles and many other kinds of good vibe to carry through into a good sleep and refreshed feelings in the new day. ox

@Mazarita heated up or cold?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, cold milk, then a splash of hot water to soften the brits, then the sugar. My favorite recipe for over 40 years. This has been my staple through thick and thin in life! What's your cereal fave?

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Mazarita. Tears rolling down my cheeks also from left field. Man I'm all over the place, I don't know why. Anyway I didn't mean to dump you in it again but thank you😊💜

on a lighter note my sons girlfriend and I painted the inside of my linen press tonight. Only issue was that my hair and clothes probably did more painting than the paint brush, spent more time getting paint off of places it wasn't meant to be than actually painting😝😜😂

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, so sorry this stress landed on you here tonight. I understand why the tears may be flowing. Good release of stress. You didn't dump me in anything. I just turned up here and saw what was going on too. I'm happy to be here for you. Haha to your performance with the painting. Great that you got that done though! Sounds like we both had a much better night than anticipated.

@plasmo, weetbix are a second choice here too, only in times of desperation, mind.
