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."

  • Any photos of your makeover in the offing, Uki? Pray xxx

  • I feel your pain re. disappearing posts, Ray. I lost a veritable tome to Shimmer the other night.

    The will to try again was sucked out and I went to sleep.

    Hey, maybe that's the answer after all! xxx

  • Oooh I get very cross when posts get eaten or disappear into the ether. I only have a phone to construct pithy prose so one fingering is taxing at best and  infuriating if to no avail.

    I once did a bit elsewhere requiring the conveying of a sentence someone uttered as a response. Their response was the whole point of the post.Took many attempts to find a way of writing the word that the filter would accept. 

    Moderation leapt in big stylee 'attempting to beat the censor'. I was err very cross. Of course I replied Slight smile

    What infuriated me was other words, barely tweaked and blatantly obvious sail through. That if you were not already familiar with the word you still wouldn't have been after my post and quite frankly 'children' were not protected on that forum from stuff that would melt their mind or murder their soul... or general inane, untrue, inaccurate tosh.

    Ahem not bitter at all. Neither was my response to moderation... which didn't come back to me, so job done Thumbsup

    Cheers 

  • I think I broke all the camera lenses with my intense radiating beauty.

  • Joy I've managed to conjure up an image - Priscilla, Queen of the Desert with Patrick Swayze.

    I've never seen the film but know it was to do with men in drag xxx

  • I feel your pain too Shimmer - losing posts is no laughing matter.

    I'm a touch typist by trade but a fat lot of use that is when prodding away one fingered!

  • That's more like it hon.

    Stunning xxx

  • Grrrr site playing up. Anyway not sure how clear it is but the sea is visible between the cliffs. Err yeah, train runs along coast. Also any clouds in pics had certainly done one by the time we off train as the weather fried me!
