Night Owls (for those awake late and can't sleep)

[Croix]

Dear All
The purpose of this thread is as a meeting point for those that can’t sleep and it is late (I.E. AFTER midnight.)

It can be a useful space for users to share their issues with insomnia as well as coping strategies. It can also be a general space for users to converse and support one another throughout a difficult night.

Please note – for those that are just bored or lonely we already have a place - the BB Café, which I recommend instead of here

hi night owls

its too cold and depressing to sleep.

told myself to wind down 2 hours ago

have somehow got lost on a youtube spiral

was meant to do a "hot drink, go to bed"

it's 3am now and just getting to the hot drink

living alone is weird for my habits, and the anti socialness of it, means some nights i just stay up

anyone awake? hope ur enjoying wherever u are and staying warm

[Guest9337]

Evening Sleepy21!

Yeh, I'm still awake too, tapping away at the keyboard, 168 hours a week spare.

me 2! insomnia here

[Guest9337]

ah insomnia hey, do u have any ideas why?

[Harpbird]

A lot more people up, traffic is building up, got road works too. Out front which is worse , cars stopping and starting,

fire place been cranking all night, think I load it too much, kinda hot in here lol

[Guest9337]

Morning Harpbird, Yes the traffic noise here is diminished by strong gusts and heavy rain. My feel remain just the cool side of comfortably warm, in heavy socked, threadbare uggboots, and a nearly brand new aussie army sleeping bag.

Do you chop your own wood Harpbird?

cheers, dng.

[Harpbird]

Good morning David, in a way it’s good having road works out the front as the stop and go sign person let’s up out first lol

my son and son in laws chop our fire wood. My mom has a big bush property so when I need wood we also get my mom stocked up.

dropped grandson off to school and little miss is asleep, so all I mostly hear are the birds. Ahhh the quiet

[Guest9337]

Ahh that sounds like a beautiful morning.

The quiet gives us time to appreciate things hey.

I like ur profile pic, yes, I too am going crazy and wanna come! Perhaps I can shrink into your suitcase along the way?

hi d n g

i'm abit depressed and down, insomnia comes with it for me, shucks, it never ends...

saw my therapist tday and wanted to talk about sleep but ended up talking mor about SI

this is why i never bring it up, it eats up my session. but i guess life is immprtant.

I feel bad though that i didn't get to delve into my sleep issues. next week, i guess.
