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.

There's something very heartening about a good old fashioned stew @Faith-and-Hope particularly during winter and they're so easy to throw together too..

@Faith-and-Hope, when the pieces fall into place, you should totally go back.

Yay for study! 😄

What would you study?

Re: Night Shift

Yeah ... there have been a few missed flights .... he's been trying to leave a bigger contingency for peak hour traffic and rain, to his credit, but it seems they are still incompatible with The Regimen ...

And the new flight is delayed ....

Still D3 has scored the day off school tomorrow, so I don't have to rush to get up in the morning 😏

Silver linings ....

Re: Night Shift

There is plenty of time for you to work @Former-Member, looking after you is the most important thing. If living off a shoestring is manageable and study makes you happy then go for it. Study is heaps better than being unemployed and more likely to get you a better job in the long run. I wish you the best of luck💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member, was just catching up on the posts since I was last here and writing one about the hellish time I had last night. Had an extreme migraine after signing off and was up past dawn with it. The pain was through the roof to the point where I thought I might need an ambulance. Finally got to sleep about 6am after I'd woken up partner and he gave my rock hard shoulder and neck muscles a massage, which calmed things down enough for me to sleep. Was in bed sleeping on and off until 3.30pm today. Luckily, I have slowly recovered since then. Even managed to get myself ready for big day tomorrow. Not sleepy after getting up so late today but will have to lie myself down before too long so I can get some sleep before tomorrow.

Wow @Mazarita ....

So sorry to hear it was a 🌵 day for you ....

I am glad you're feeling better now.

Re: Night Shift

Really sorry to hear that @Mazarita. Must have been a bit scary too no doubt. I'm glad your partner was there to help you out. Big day meeting the person you've been waiting to meet???
