    Hi Gillybeans,

    See if you can get your medical staff to lend you a relaxation Tape. It works for me. Good Luck.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

    hi Gillybeans

    i found that i cant sleep if i am thinking to much. The way i relax is to do calm things before trying to sleep. For example watch a fell good film or programme.

    I also have a bed time routine which sounds silly i know but it works. If you stick to the same routine before bed your brain will relax and think its time for sleep.

    If you dont want to take sleeping pills then there are lots of other things out there to help you sleep.
