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

@PeppiPatty How wonderful that you feel there is something you have learned about writing from me. I wasn't trying to teach you anything, which is all the better. Manic feelings and behaviour do really take a toll. I'm glad you can understand that with your son. I'm sure you have had a lot of understanding for him in so many ways already. The best news of all to me is that you are walking on the beach! Across the continent, me, you and Arlo on the beach every week.

Re: Night Shift

Okay @PeppiPatty, I was getting a bit excited. I still think it's super fantastic that you are doing slow strolls. All it takes is one foot after the other. I love watching the dogs on the beach, they are the most joyful creatures there.

Lol I remember you called yourself a kitten once @Mazarita

Nights are still difficult I think my next focus will be sleep hygeine ... I will be going to camps away and need to have reasonable hours. This thread has helped balance my night stress a lot.

Cheers Apple

Re: Night Shift

@Appleblossom,

I didn't remember where I'd called myself a kitten for a moment and then it came back to me. I was referring to when I was just turned 17. Yes, that was a time.

So glad to hear this thread has helped you. There's probably been a few nights where I stayed in here beyond when I could have been in bed asleep. But not too many. Mostly it's just been great to have you and everyone who has come in here sharing our nights, days, thoughts, feelings, whatever.
