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.

☕️

If you went on a road trip @Strugglingsis96 - where would you go? Along the coast, inland, through rain forest, the outback?

There's this cute little town a few hours from here where the stars at night are amazing. It's called Avoca and all they have is a little commercial hotel, an opp shop and a fish and chip shop. I'd probably go there and stay at the ranch near the town, or I'd go down to the beach really early in the morning just to listen to the waves.

Wow @Strugglingsis96 - sounds like bliss. Been there recently? When your head is full of stuff you need to do, can you close your eyes and think of that beach?

@soul I've never thought of doing that. But I definitely think I could. Maybe I could play some wave noises if I struggle to remember.

My usual method to getting to sleep is counting backwards from 99 by 3's and 7's

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's an interesting method. I remember going under anesthetic once and the doctor asking me to count backwards from ten. Don't think I made it to blast off. Counting backwards in 3s and 7s. Is that alternately? Have you made it to zero?

Your pic hasn't come through yet @Faith-and-Hope. Can't wait to see where we are going. Are we heading out in a van? Or a little bus maybe?
