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.

☕️

Not good @outlander it was impressed on me how important sleep hygiene is for Mr Darcy and how it really applies to all of us. Last night was the first night of not checking my phone if I woke up during the night. Managed to get back to sleep a lot quicker than I thought - making this a self care priority.

@Former-Member constant anxiety attacks through the night keep me up as well as nightmares too. im on ADs that ahve sleep stuff in them plus a high trength sleeping tablet and they dont work on me either- my anxiety overpowers them like a bull at a gate

its not fair 😞

I'm okay @Former-Member ......

Have been painting outside this afternoon, but it's cold and rainy. Headed out for a walk before it's dark-dark (overcast at dusk) and have found a cafe with a bar ..... Irish Coffee is not my usual but it'll do tonight .... !!

@outlander sounds like something to bring up at your next pdoc appt.

Bulls at a gate eh? Must say the ones on the farm across the road are nasty pieces of work and not to be trusted.

@Faith-and-Hope my brother once told me that Irish coffee contains all the essential ingredients - fat, caffeine, sugar and alcohol.

@Former-Member - hard to keep track of everyone - we are back from being away.

I did yesterday @Former-Member cant do anything else for weeks to see if the meds work
Yeah a bull at a gate.barges everyone and everything out of the way to make room for it
Yeah bulls dont tend to be too friendly. Mother cows with young ones by their side are just as dangerous

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@outlander that anxiety of yours sounds very much like a bull, will catch you in another thread on that one ...

@Bel @Jojo how are your hounds? Have you seen @Determined's post "dogs rock"
