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

I've had a couple of good giggles today at my own expense. When I tried to get up this morning I ended up neither in bed nor out of bed. I was entangled in this rather strange position thinking to myself that I was in a bit of a pickle. Attempting to be gentle with my back I tried a couple more times to disentangle myself and ended up giggling. I couldn't reach my phone so I couldn't phone for help. It was probably a good thing. I must have looked a sight. Eventually I had to grit my teeth and push through the pain. At least I did get out of bed!

Not being the brightest creature on this planet I later decided that I needed to change the bed linen since I've spent a lot of time in bed recently. All was going well until I got the doona tangled in the cover so I got inside the doona cover. Well that's where I stayed for half an hour or so because my back seized up on me and I couldn't move. All is well. I finally got the cover on and the doona untangled.

I'm looking forward to getting in to a fresh bed very shortly. However I must add that Kurra's stupidity would take a lot to beat.

Re: Night Shift

You don't have to pretend to change the sheets to play Indian Tepee's in your doona cover @Kurra .... I do that too ❣

😂 Just teasing ....

You poor thing, getting stuck like that twice !!

My D2 climbs right into the cover with her doona when she's changing it .... looks like a giant stingray caught out of the water and flopping around in the hallway .... 😆
