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.

☕️

Fair enough @Shaz51 I hope it helps.

I think I need to stop eating.

It's too late, I'm tired, & I don't need to eat anymore (anyway)...

Thanks @Shaz51 & @Adge

I am sucking on sugarless vitamin c as a wind down at night. I read somwhere it helps with hypertension and I need all the help I can in that area.

Good thinking. @Faith-and-Hope

I had some liquorice tea which I love the flavour of ... but not good for high blood pressure.

I finished it slowly over time, but will research next teas I buy for physical qualities.

How has today been for you. I got that you were busy.

It was a full day at uni @Appleblossom , but a painting class was one of the lessons - a tableau of seemingly junk items, but it’s about observation and paint application. That felt great, like a meditation .... good for hypertension, and the tutors play music, often classical.
