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.

@outlander, I'm a bit out of sorts too. Had a day out today, which turned out to be mostly nice with a little bit of edgy-anxious thrown in to it. But as I've been sleeping badly due to the above, I'm kind of hoping that tonight I'll be soooo tired that I'll sleep anyway.

You too @Sophie1.
What's your bedtime reading?

I'm mucking around playing a few computer games and browsing the news while Hubby has his shower.

Hi @Smc I've just started a new book by SK Tremayne called 'the assistant' ... what happens when the google assistant of the future goes astray ???

Sorry to hear something was triggering for you @outlander. I have just made a cup of tea. I am really tired and likely to face-plant my phone sometime soon .....

I have been sitting on a book for a while @Sophie1 @Smc, but my concentration for reading has been too unsettled for a long time now ..... surprise, surprise ..... something to do with hypervigiilance probably.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Sophie1, just googled it... Don't think I'd be able to read that and then fall asleep! 😛

We've resisted getting a "hey Google" here, even when we were offered one for free with our internet plan. Am quite happy enough to turn switches on and off myself.

On the funny side, I asked a friend to see what Google did if she asked it for "Popcorn by Hot Butter". It added it to her shopping list.
