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.

@Shaz51 umm 300ml is quite a bit of rain, we get flooding with that rain.

@Former-Member i try to nap but usually it doesn't work and I get frustrated! like today, then come bedtime I'm wide awake. My sleep is all messed up, the joys of holidays 🙂

My mum @Former-Member is 87 and I have never known her to take daytime naps. At the moment I have to put ear drops in each day and she drops off to sleep every time 😌

I saw The Florida Project today @Shaz51 – it was great, but was a bit melancholy sometimes.

@YTT yes me too! I purposefully go “I’ll nap now cos I’m so sleepy” and then nothing. Same thing at night ….we must be night-owl@Anna88 your routine is all skewiff during holidays!

@Catcakes to me that sounds sweet, but I gather it isn’t “sweet” foryou, it’s a bit sad? Is that right? Sounds like a lot has changed for her.

It’s ok @Former-Member for me. I’m pleased to see her sleeping because she’s always been too “at the ready “ to jump up and do for others.
I keep reassuring her that now it’s her turn to be cared for. She is mortified that I come every day but in her own way I think she’s finally allowing herself to rest ❤️
