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."

Afternoon all
We're out in the motorhome again, this time at Rye. Some friends are joining us later so there'll probably be a few drinkies consumed.
We decided to go for breakfast on our way to Rye so went to Airport Café near Hythe, about 40 minutes away from home. As we pulled up Alan declared that he'd forgotten his bag with his wallet, phone, glasses etc. in it, so we had our breakfast then drove back home to get it. What a plonker
We had a border collie when I was about 6 years old. Our house backed onto a school playing field and the dog used to get out and try to round up the kids playing on the field
