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."

What an adorable baby grandson you've got there, Titan aw, those cheeky chops!
Fingers crossed you'll be able to see them at the weekend and get lots of cuddles in. Thanks so much for sharing the lovely photo hon. Hugs to you and your smashing family xxx
I hope it gets better soon. Some people say having a hot bath before you go to bed works.
Evening Sonia
Aren't Titan's family lovely? My eldest grandson is 22 now - he's autistic and mostly mute, but he's the best person in the world to us.
Hope you're feeling ok today sweetheart, we're going to watch a documentary at 9pm about the farm where the Bamber family came to a grim end. Apparently new evidence has surfaced so we'll give it a go. I'll do TLC earlier tonight.
Lots of love and hugs my lovely xxx
