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."

Evening Sonia
I'm back but only after a big tea, then all the washing up and stuff, and flopping in the chair and falling asleep for a couple of hours. TLC done and OH fast asleep so I've just caught up here.
I hope you're asleep now sweetie so we'll chat tomorrow. Night night and big hugs xxx
Hello Alllmum and a warm welcome from me, too
I'm part of the West Yorkshire contingent and a massive Leeds fan for almost 55 years - I went to Maine Road in the 70s, where we unfortunately lost 2 - 1 to your guys. It still stings
Anyway hon, good to see you here and join in with all the chat as we talk about loads of things and generally have a laugh.
Big hugs to you hon xxx
