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."

Ooh, that sounds interesting, Julie. I've not heard of it but if I say Under the Vines into the remote it might pick it up. I'll try that in a bit.
I'm a sceptic but I'd never want to appear on a televised quiz show if my general knowledge wasn't up to par. I'd be too embarrassed of making a show of myself and wouldn't live it down, but that's just me.
We love to watch quiz shows and now OH is retired we watch loads - it's a good way to keep his brain active! Popmaster has just kicked off a new series and he knows a lot about music, but has to be very quick to get the answers down on his board. A workout for his hands too!
We like to live on the edge xxx
Morning Helen
Is Alan ok with visits to the dentist? Unless his next one's brought forward, OH's is 2nd October for more work and he's not particularly looking forward to it even though he knows it's a must.
The staff at LDI are great, always a bonus, so hope Alan's are the same. My school dentist was known as the butcher of Bradford xxx
