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.

How is everyone doing today? I just woke up from an afternoon nap.

Siestas are good @Strugglingsis96. I find it hard to sleep in no matter how little or bad a sleep I have had. I just try to make sure my nap isn't too long. don't think we've met. I'm okay and you?

I'm new. This is my first time on the forum. I struggle to sleep over night my brain goes a little crazy some times.

Hi @Strugglingsis96 - what is on your mind at night that you can't shut off? I know the feeling as I get like that at times. I have gone into a bad habit of watching shows before bed.

Pity there wasn't a switch that we could just turn off, huh?

That's why I could never watch horror movies or ones with a lot of violence @Anony18

It's so silly I think about things like how the fridge needs cleaning out or my wardrobe needs to be organised, or if I've had a really bad mental health day it's about how bad do I need the money at work and how much would people care if I just went on a road trip for a few days to clear my head.

I love horror films! But only when I can separate my own experiences from them Hehe
The ones that are beyond ridiculous are my favorite.
