Greetings Weybridge, and another warm welcome from me

Like yourself and Soc, my OH is a head and neck patient and he too had six weeks of RT. That in itself didn't disturb his ability to sleep, but he got a big dose of ye olde fatigue, causing him to retire to his bedroom several times each day. I let him sleep as much as he wanted to, being aware that the radiation was still working away even after his treatment finished, and it would be several months before his sleeping returned to a more regular pattern.

Weybridge, it's myself who can't sleep properly and I'm another 2am night owl like your good self and our treasure, Soc. Sending you hugs xxx

Evidently it's a solitary bee.
