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.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope,
I think anxiety is the worst part. Needing a good night's rest, but unable to sleep.
I have a morning tea at school for S1 today. I dint feel like being social as I'm not feeling great.
I'll put on fake smile and make it through.😊

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Resting is an okay substitute for sleep ... remember that cos it helps to take the stress out of not being able to sleep when you need to ... if you can't sleep, just accept a rest instead, and sleep when you can. It helps lower the anxiety that way, and can, ironically, help you sleep. It's a way of turning a negative cycle into a positive one.

Make the morning tea at school about you as much as possible. Dress in something you really like ... shoes too ... fave earrings .... perfume ... have a treat brekky before you go .... put yourself in the best mood possible and promise yourself something rewarding for afterwards. You would pull all stops to help one of your kids cope with an uncomfortable situation ... do it for you too ... cos you're worth it ....

@Faith-and-Hope yes you had better have hot chocolate or you wont sleep!

Isnt it funny, i often forget we are all in vastly different locations... and thus, time zones!

I am secretly a little jealous and wishing i was wherever you are, because i would LOVE another few hours sleep haha... instead i am heading off to work! oh well TGI friday i guess 🙂
