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.

I saw the osteo who saved my life today.

I first saw her about 13 years ago.

I havnt seen her for a year as I have had so many issues and trying to get proper GP and referrals established.

She made an appointment for next week. We agreed management is key.

Hope you are good @Kurra

Re: Night Shift

lol @Kurra

only giggling with ... not at ...you.

It can be refreshing when we get a laugh at ourselves.

I actually got told an OCD way to change doonas and therefore havent had that issue much. We have king sizes ... and I match corners and clench them together with my teeth ... that bit was my invention as I am not OCD ... I am used to stray germs flying in my mouth ... then I fix the next corner ... and hold both doona and cover in each hand, at 2 consecutive corners, firmly while I shake ... lay it on bed .. and do the bottom 2 corners ... does that make sense ... anyway it works for me

Re: Night Shift

Good Morning All
I'm not sure about the good part. It's cold, wet and windy.
Yes @Faith-and-Hope very quiet overnight.

@Appleblossom that's the system I started off with but it went very wrong hence my decision to climb in. How delightful it is to sleep in a freshly made bed ! I slept like a log.

I was extra cautious getting out of bed this morning and succeeded without getting stuck.

Hoping everyone has a more relaxed and peaceful day today. 💜🎶🎵🎵🎶💕

@Faith-and-Hope, love the sparrow 🙂
Hi @Kurra, @Appleblossom & everyone
Things are quiet over here

Re: Night Shift

Yes very quiet @Former-Member
With so many new members I think it's been necessary to spread around more. I think it's very important to make sure that each new member gets a response to their first post.

How are you going?
