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 are you and Ray like, Sonia? The pair of you always have me grinning
Border control will probably address Ray in a similar fashion to this:
Ey up old lad. Na then, slip us a tenner and get yersen over t'border inter t'biggest ant'best county. An' we don't say oop north either - just up, so get it reyt unless yer want a clout.
We are very friendly, honest, and I'll shut me trap now to stay in Brian's good books. xxx
Hey Titan, I almost stopped buying Walker's crisps because of Lineker but their pull was too strong. Seabrook is a very tasty alternative.
Now my OH also loves watching cricket and golf, but I always say he's watching paint dry when those are on the telly. In fact I got bored just typing it. It's a strange world my friend xxx
