Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Hi @Former-Member, how are you going?

Thinking I may need something a bit stronger in my hot chocolate tonight lol.

Sorry, there's no Scotch left @Determined The empty bottle got thrown out.

Perhaps we can find you something else nice & strong.

How about Muscat, Port, or Ginger Wine (or even Peppermint tea, if that suits)?

My back ache is bad tonight, so I need something myself.

I'm trying to stick to non-alcoholic, because even a tiny bit of spirits disrupts my sleep...

Peppermint tea, now there's a thought, might even have some of that.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Well Peppermint tea tastes much nicer than Chamomile tea (I think).

Chamomile is great for relaxing & sleep, but it tastes horrible (except maybe with honey).

I'm a non al drinker anyway @Adge despite the odd craving have never been worried about stuf like that. Herbal tea and coffee about the strongest we have in our house lol, bit square in that department

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Was wondering if you might @Determined, but did not want to encourage unhealthy habits - not quite as bad as the person I heard about that condemns wine gums due to their 'intoxicant potential'

I have about 4 ciders in my fridge, left behind by my ex partner, I opened one tonight, took a mouthful and decided I'm too tired and old to drink alcoholic mid week haha, poured the rest down the sink
