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."

Morning Amanda
You too eh, wide awake at daft o' clock? We're both crackers but I'm going to make an attempt to get back off soon.
Oh yes, the little rabbit was very laid-back so must be really comfortable around humans. OH's top lip was still numb, as we'd just left the dental hospital, so he couldn't smile properly but we loved seeing that little fluffy bunny and she made our day.
Now you enjoy your day hon, and let's hope it's flipping cooler than it has been - our fan's still blasting away but it takes the edge off. xxx
PS I looked at views of Barry Island and it's gorgeous. Glyn was very lucky to grow up there xxx
Hi hunnie.
Yes its lethal waking to use loo and im wide awake then. Glad its not just me though
Hope you manage to get back off i wont know im awake. I can hear birds singing and theres a gorgeous breeze coming through window. Glyns still snoring do are baby and daughter.

Barry island is lovely, he was indeed lucky. His parents are in their 80s and still living in the house he grew up in. Lovely old house nice big bay windows and high ceilings.

Morning Helen
The real-life little bunny was even cuter than the pic!
Have a nice shop with mum in-law and hopefully a walk later on. I never did get back off to sleep so did some thrilling chores instead but it did try to rain, at least.
We're always thinking of Dingg, lovey xxx
Have a nice shop with mum in-law
She fell over outside Morrison’s, luckily there was an A&E nurse there who assessed her on the spot and declared her ok but to get seen if anything changes. She said this afternoon her hip and knee are hurting but won't do anything about it!
We managed to go for a walk this afternoon and had a lovely iced latte.
It's still very warm here but cool in the shade in the garden.

Oh dear. Drama you could do without.
Is her hip a new niggle?
