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 Millibob. Was listening to Don Estelle and Windsor Davis singing 'Whispering Grass ' this morning and thought of your post. 

  • Gorgeous. I could paint that.

  • Good Afternoon  

    Radio 2 Saturday and Sunday and Greatest Hits Radio for me Monday to Friday - I am stuck in the last century for most of my music. I don't do most of this new "boom boom shake the room stuff"

    Indeed when I bought a car you were interested in the engine - now my kids want to know what the ICE (in car entertainment) is like and how good is the aircon! Blush.

    Standards are going down!!

  • Good afternoon folks

    We had a late morning, not getting up until 8:30! We've had a walk into the town centre and a cheeky latte in one of the coffee shops. 

    My claim to fame is meeting Al Murray as the Pub Landlord when he campaigned to be an MP in Thanet against Nigel Farage, Channel 4 were following him. He later made a documentary about it in which I featured and when it was shown I got loads of messages from friends saying they'd seen me on TV. It was shown several times on Channel 4. 

    Neither the Pub Landlord or Nigel Farage won by the way Rofl
