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.

☕️

Morning all.

Hi @Anastasia. 🙂 I've got a 4pm coffee curfew too, but often I'll play it cautious with anything after 3pm.

So @Determined, have you got the makings on hand for really nice hot chocs? 😛 Enhancements like nutmeg... peppermint flavouring... honey... dropping a square or two of real chocolate in with the powder to make it richer...

@Smc I have grown a liking to white Hot chock, Hot chock with mint and licorice tea.

While I like honey it has a negative impact on emotional regulation so I try and avoid that lol.

And too much licorice tea gives me aches so easy does it. (I really am a problem.child with sensitivities lol).

Cool idea @Faith-and-Hope I used to have trouble sleeping and would have loved company or someone to talk to in the early days. I ended up getting an early morning (3am) delivery job which I have been doing for 10 years now. That has been excellent therapy. Clear the head in the fresh night air. There is something beautiful about the night sky or the moon shimmering on the water. In saying that this morning was thick fog. Lol
