Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Wow, third time up, @eth. Glad you get to nap during the days to catch up. Sorry about the cramps. I get them sometimes too. I've had about 3-4 hours.

Re: Night Shift

Hope I didn't wake you @Mazarita.  I just took the sleeping tablet I rarely resort too so hopefully will get some good hours when it kicks in.

Will be mentioning the cramps to my doc when I see her as they are really sharp and lock up my whole lower calf, ankle and foot.  So painful, not like an ordinary cramp.  I'm concerned that them and the hand tremors are a side-effect of something I'm on.

Re: Night Shift

@eth, like you, I have no electronics in my bedroom and have the sound on my mobile notifications turned down in the main room overnight. My waking is all me. Sounds like you can really use a bit of an aid tonight, best wishes for some good hours after this. I took one of my muscle relaxants last night to help me get to sleep after such a bad night last night. I've stopped the melatonin because I had such a bad night after it and thought it might be partly responsible for me getting 'the creeps'. Your tremors are a bit concerning. Cramps not good either.

Re: Night Shift

I can feel it working now so will go back to bed and hope for the best.  Hope you get some more sleep too.  

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @eth, I hope you rest easy now.
