Are we all Night Owls then?

I seem to be having trouble sleeping the last week or so not sure if it is because I am due to have a ct scan to see how I’m doing after finishing chemo in April.  I can be up until 2-3 am then I’m up for 8-9 am.  Even if I’m tried as soon as I get into bed I just can’t sleep, I have tried reading, listening to music, watching tv, playing on xbox, lying in the dark just nothing works.  It is very annoying lol x

Well done on you finishing Chemo, I’ve got my 2nd round tomorrow. You probably are anxious on your update.

Good luck. Hope it goes well for you. 

Thank you, I feel I was lucky as I didn’t have too many side effects thankfully.  Good luck with your chemo tomorrow x

Hi, I sleep like a brick! Most of the time. Then I'll have those sleepless nights. My Christmas cards were wrote at 3.30am, back in December. I try to do something, like peel potatoes and get veg ready for evening meal, or sit with a cup of tea and just look out at the garden with the light off, it's amazing what creature's come out after dark. xx

I used to sleep anywhere anytime. Now if I get half an hour I’ve done well. 

Weird thing I’m just not tired. I guess it’s cos I’m doing nothing all day. I used to be so active. Worked in construction, now I’m just sitting around all day as I can’t walk more than about 100 yards. 

Its Pants. 

I used to be a night owl but not any more! In a complete turnaround I am in bed very early-6pm last night-and up at 6am every day including the weekend. Gone are the days of a lie in! 

I’m very tired when I go to bed, despite not doing much in the day since I’m housebound, but I when I can’t sleep I just tend to listen to music or watch rubbish tv.

It's mad the way this affects people differently.  As I said, I could always sleep,anywhere at the drop of a hat. That's a skill I learnt when I first had kids, as soon as they were asleep I was gone too.

But now, I might be tired, a bit fatigued even but I just can't sleep. Maybe part of me doesn't want to waste time, I don't know.  

I don't have the patience for rubbish TV,  grumpy old man I guess. I do tend to put YouTube on in the background and have music videos on, i find that can be quite relaxing.  But doesn't time drag.... 

Time does drag when you can’t sleep-a frequent thing for me despite my early bedtime! I’m a bit of a grumpy old woman, I need to confess. When I was having cancer treatment I was SO exhausted with radiotherapy I could have slept all day. Since my surgery, I cannot sleep all night-having two stomas tends to ensure you wake early.. I would love a full night’s sleep and a lie in.

So right it’s when everyone is away to bed and your left on your own.
