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.

@soul

Chamomile and raspberry I dont mind, got pure chamomile last shop by mistake and not so fond of that one. I did however forget about tonight's brew so had it cold and that was not so bad.

@Former-Member certainly. And since @Determined has gone all contact the dietician.. which seems a little ironic considering he is the original timtam monster.... then there's going to be a whole lot more for us. YAY!!!

@Dichotomy someone here cleverly identified my little indulgance the other night as subconscious rebelion after the pdoc didn't accept my denial of comfort eating... I'm going to go with that as the explanation lol
