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."

  • Careful, I may send him round. Slight smile

    Hmm goooal no it's not goooal no again!!

    • Cheers
  • Erm, no hon. I doubt the battery charge for Stressy's mobility scooter would last the hundred or so miles down to West Yorkshire, so we'll pass. Plus he'd drive me nuts with his remote 'skills'.

    I'm getting pretty het up with this match and I've not even put a bet on.

    Could go to pens hon xxx

  • Wahoooooo! We did it, despite everything!

    Err he would feel right at home as he is a Yorkshire boy, from Leeds!

    So I get told Yorkshire is of course the centre of the universe and the only place where anything is done 'proper.'

    Cheers

  • Bang on Stressy boy - you've gone right up in my estimation and the only thing that could surpass that is if you ever worshipped at the temple of Elland Road.

    If he doesn't know what I'm on about you explain Shimmer, but I guess he will.

    And with that, over and out hon, and we'll see what today has in store. Good stuff I hope. Night pet, sleep well xxx

  • Ok.ssshhh nyt, hope you get some restful sleep.

    Take care

  • Good morning. 

    I had a wonderful sleep 8pm til 5 45 i was exhausted. 

    We are the same we dont argue we have discussions lol. We share everything best way to be isnt it hun. 

    Yes take a look at Gavin and Stacey its brilliant. 

    It went so lovely and breezy here last night but i can feel heat building here again. 

    Hope you both managed to get a good nights sleep

  • It sure is a fantastic group i am so lucky to have found you all. 

    Thank you so much xxx

  • Good morning Mandy my lovely Rose 

    That's wonderful you had a good sleep and it should do you the world of good. Yep, I had a good one too thanks hon, and OH is still snoozing away. Mind, he had a really late night after the football and has never been a night owl Owl so he'll probably be like a zombie when he eventually comes down.

    Well done for not arguing with Glyn as it really doesn't solve problems, does it? I should follow that way of thinking but my temper often gets in the way! However, I'm always quick to make up with OH if I've upset him and don't carry on all day long. Hey, I'm into day 5 of keeping my cool which is at odds with the weather. Wonders will never cease.

    I'll have to take a look at Gavin and Stacey as my two friends on another forum have also recommended it. There is a Welsh connection as one of them lives in Wales and the other is Welsh but lives in Portugal. Both extremely lucky girls in my opinion!

    Well sweetheart, I hope you have a lovely, peaceful Sunday so don't do too much except enjoy whatever you do. Maybe sit out in your special garden.

    Hugs and love to you and yours hon xxx

  • I'd loved to have been there 

  • It was very choppy Uki. We were watching the football in our cabin and we were all over the place lol
