Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Hi Tonii
Welcome to the Community. I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on the online community. I'm sorry to hear that you are waiting on surgery for colon cancer and that you are having awful nightmares. What I find helps if I have trouble sleeping is to read until I feel sleepy enough to go back to sleep.
Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery.
Best wishes
Daisy53
