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."

Fuuuuuu! Been trying to catch up. Had about an hour's sleep near breakfast time last night or do I mean this morning?
Welcome to Geeo. The site sometimes does quirky things and may not immediately show the most recent posts.
You can't shut us lot up though 
Just for a change, this is a quick pop in as I really must try to sleep. I stupidly agreed to hobble alongside Stressy's scooter to the retail park and of course the sun came out and it was hot.
I ended up sitting on the ground outside BnM waiting for him. I was behind the plant shelves, the only scrap of shade. Must have looked odd but not as odd as trying to get up again.
Come on you lot, try it. Sit on floor legs straight out in front. Now get up without putting any part of left foot on floor and not putting any weight or force on right elbow or wrist. Trust me, it's s heaps of fun 
Ok the typing is playing up so definitely saying Nyt, take care
I have that carry on every time I get in the bath, Shimmer my lovely.
Now you get some sleep. Night hon xxx
Morning our kid
Don't ever apologise for what you perceive as moaning - it isn't. Seeing the person you love go through god knows what on a daily basis is rock hard, whilst also trying to keep your own emotions in check. Add to that all the care involved and the compromises that have to be made is a job no-one would take on voluntarily.
Well it's a bit cooler and dull atm but it won't last, so we can crack on with blaming the weather for everything else, apart from our feebleness in wishing we could make our OHs well again. One hour at a time, Uki.
Time to face the day for me but I hope you both have a better one than yesterday. All our love xxx
