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.

Has been quite wet here @Shaz51 but we are all good. Most of the system was to the south of us. Rain we have had has been good.

Hi @Shaz51 Always good to see you about/ around the forums....

You mentioned thinking during the night, keeping you awake (if I understood correctly).

I've had that every night, for the past week - Not sleeping well, or hardly at all...

"This too shall pass" (the saying goes) - Well I certainly hope so, for myself & for you too...

Hi @Determined I hope you are starting to feel "caught-up" with your studies.

& that you got to do those activities with your sons (that you were hoping to).

@Adge if I could magic another 40 - 50 hours into this week I would be starting to feel on top of things but I am definatly in a better position than I was.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Determined Yep, makes me a Zombie, mostly non-functional.

Since I already have daily fatigue issue (even when well-slept).

Too much going on - uncontrollable events (happenings).

So brain went into over-drive (every night), just when I needed to sleep...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes, fair enough @Determined That would help (if possible).

I want to Magic back the last 20 or so years - maybe a bit too ambitious....

I know that isn't going to happen

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Haha @Adge i definatly don't want to do the last 20 years over. It was hard enough the first time 🤯

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I totally get where you are coming from with the sleep (or lack of) and fatigue and lack of function. Have had thwt for longer than I can remember.

Hope you get a better rest tonight.

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Determined A better night's sleep (or several) would be wonderful...

Yes, well the past 20 years were hard enough the first time for me too....

Any Re-Run (repeat) would need to be totally different, or much better....
