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."

  • Thank you Gill. I am going to get some cornettos tomorrow if it goes cooler. Not going out in this heat. Keep resting Gill and drink plenty of water. I have got my fan on. Take care lovely.xxx

  • We've got our fan on too lovey, and I must have gulped down at least a gallon of water already, as the heat makes me thirsty and lethargic at the same time.

    Deffo order choc Cornettos but don't leave out the Muller Corners as they're good for indulgence too, all thoroughly deserved sweetheart.

    Keep cool Sunglasses my lovely xxx

  • Thank you Gill. Would you believe it tescos have run out of muller corners they sent me a substitute tescos thick and creamy strawberry yoghurt. I must have ate them all.!

  • Well, I was a silly arse today. Scrabbling over rocks to get to the beach, lost my balance and fell. Backside in a rock pool hand and elbow grazed and cut. Glasses anywhere. Daughter and OH told me off for coming a more difficult way. Luckily my daughter found my glasses. What a fool.

  • Oh uki don't go scrambling over rocks. Hope you are okay though. Sounds like you are enjoying your holiday even so.

  • I was in search of the last remaining Muller Corner in Scotland. I heard someone had exhausted the whole UK reserves.

  • Now that made me laugh. Wonder who it was. I think it's a liberty tescos should know better. Luckily the new yoghurt are just as nice.xxx

  • I wonder which silly devil decided it would be okay to go over rocks to get to the beach quicker and scraped his elbow.

  • I can imagine the national press front pages - The great Muller Heist! Salford Woman Chief Suspect.

    Don't worry hon, we won't dob you in Thumbsup

    Glad you like the alternative, and thick and creamy does sound tempting xxx

  • Lol I like that Gill. Yes I like the thick and creamy but still miffed about the muller.
