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."

  • Hi little broWave

    Much cooler out today with the nice breeze, but still no rain. It's a conspiracy against our little area and I even watered our rose bush as it looked forlorn.

    Love to you and yours hon xxx

  • Cooler over the hill today too, with a nice breeze Rose.

    Ryder is happily dreaming away as it’s cooler and he can sleep better, although he’s practicing for a game of twister later and the radar is focused on the fridge door.

  • Always a massive pleasure to see Ryder, but the poor boy looks shattered after bravely battling on through the heatwave.

    Open the fridge door at his command, Brian. xxx

    For you, Ryder Blue heartPurple heart

  • The lads fine thanks - it’s fairly cloudy with a decent breeze-so it’s pub dog afternoon.

    We have just settled in “coffin dodgers corner” in licenced premises with a pint of real ale and some pork scratchings.

    Happy days.
