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

Hi @Kurra I wanted to ask you if meds effect your ability and concentration for music? That is one of my main reservations.

@Former-Member I had a lot of being invisible. You sound like you are getting very clear about the important things. It makes sense with 4 kids that it took a while for things to ease up enough for you to think about YOU time. Maybe Life will surprise you and you will stumble on something that triggers your "living" bone. For me getting over SO was very much 4 steps fwd 3 back ... and very gradual improvement ... but looking back now over the the 30 years ... heaps of improvement. It can be difficult to see the subtle shifts or the wood for the trees.

Take care all of you

Hi @JM-Addiction I havent met you before. How are you tonight?

Re: Night Shift

Yes @Appleblossom it has effected my musical ability and concentration in a very POSITIVE way! I'm so much lighter and brighter, my concentration levels are much better and my abilities are well and truly enhanced.
Gotta go and hit the road. Have a fun day.

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope 🙂 How are things? Just waiting for my collaborator to ring and I may have to be out the door without a goodbye. But here for now.

@Mazarita

Yeah ... things are okay 😊

WH wasn't too bad, despite being messed around by missing his first flight, and the second one being challenged by head-winds that made it longer than usual ....

Then got a bit anstey when he came home and found a few things out of place according to his expectations .... ones that I ought to have actually put in order as a matter of courtesy (but I had forgotten were there behind a closed door - whoopsie ....), and he didn't sleep much, but that's not new either ....

Weather isn't too bad here, so I think I will get up and go for a dolphin walk ....

Enjoy your day ❣

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, I love it when you see dolphins. 🙂

Just got home from meeting/interview with collaborator. It was fantastic to meet her in person. We could have gone on talking all day I think (though we would have worn ourselves out, we are both intense people). Next thing on the agenda, rest and get ready for having ro-ot canal. Need to leave in about half an hour.

Now that you have seen your lucky dolphins, I hope your day brings other good things your way.

Best to anyone else who might be around too. x
