Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

It's beautiful @Mazarita
Better than the last one
That moon
And the birds.

Whenever I read the 'ripped torn and whetjered It doesn't happen to me I still absolutely detach myself from that pain and see old ships limping in the water but your images put that pain inside me again and I can own it

Thanks cxcc

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member Sorry you had a hard night. Hope sleep found its way to you after you posted. Hugs.

@PeppiPatty So glad you are happy with this one too! Yes, with that shot of the seagulls, I really wasn't able to find an image that more directly related to your words at that part of the poem. When that happens, I try to find shots that have a feeling that relates to the words even if the images are different to what might be expected.

Thanks for watching everyone! Hope you have a great day.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @ PeppiPatty I have been doing well. New boast of life with new medication. I felt like saying to my phy about time. Oh well at lest I am living now. Except for the fact that I currently have a cold that has knocked me for six.
You sound really good and healthy and strong Anne. Fantastic. Just really wanted to get this sent off to you to let you know I have really been thinking of you. By the way I am a little south from you. Hopefully the weather will warm up soon.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Mazarita - I had another good sleep last night. I had a sleepy day today & felt better for it. I slept till 12 with a few bathroom breaks - got up had some fruit & oat brits & went back to bed till 3. Feel much better after so many nights of too little sleep lately.

I love the new video - it is beautiful. Please take care of you & be careful...

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member,

Was thinking of you at group meditation when we did the 'namaste' with hands. So glad you have caught up on some sleep and feel better for it. I got a good seven hour sleep last night and got up before 7am. Showered not long after that and cleaned up the flat a bit. I was expecting my peer worker at 9am and couldn't bear for her to see the place as it was. Usually I am too lethargic to do much aside from computing for the first few hours in the day so getting up and active this early is a bit of a milestone for me in recent years. It seems I've survived the recent overnighter okay. Thanks for your words about that. I don't want to slip back into doing it all the time and my psychiatrist is strongly recommending regular sleep patterns for me. I'm still working on it.

So glad you like the video.

Namaste.

Namaste

(Nah-mas-tay)

My soul honours your soul
I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides
I honour the the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you
Because it is also within me
On sharing these things
we are united , we are the same, we are one
