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."

  • Sanity? SANITY? Oi! I have been scouring the shelves of shops large and small for that! Did you have a voucher?

    Cheers

  • I did, it came free with this week's edition of Jackie.

    On sale now!

    Shimmer, it just happened again. Post disappeared so had to come out, back in and got directed to a post 3 hours ago. Is it just me? Disappointed relievedxxx

  • I am hoping that by opening up here tonight, you know who has pierced the tension that has been holding her together and she has slumped into a sleep Fingers crossed

    Cheers

  • Yes, I hope so too, and she'll feel more with it when she comes back Fingers crossed xxx

  • Siiiiigh! I could say hopefully the site tidy up will help but I suspect it will just furnish a sparkly new selection of glitches Rolling eyes

    As annoying as it is in general, I hate it when a newbie finally gets here and it looks like we don't respond quickly or that we haven't bothered to read what they or other people have said as our posts don't reflect this.

    Ooh Jackie! What about Blue Jeans? Those were the days when 'stuff' wasn't talked about so right at the back there was a one inch ad in black n white, a girl looking down partially hidden by long hair, titled The Curse. 

    No, not appearing at a cinema near you but refering to female cycles... but if you didn't know, they weren't telling you Upside down

    Cheers 

  • I hearted your post just to let you know I was still alive. I don't think I need to tell you what happened AGAIN.

    Anyway, yep, I remember those adds and would oft go straight to the back page for some clandestine rudeness. Well I was only about 8 or summat.

    Here's a spiffing idea Shims, and before it happens again and I wrench the curtains down, shall we call it a night? The boulder man's arrived anyway xxx

  •   either you are sleeping or have hurled your device at the wall so I will put both of us out of our tech misery and say nyt

    May your sleep and sanity continue 

  • Lawks!

    Before your last post your previous one was replicated in full and wouldn't let me reply. I defo think we're a pair of jinxes.

    FYI at the tender age of 8 I was reading Bunty, Mr Gascoigne, and the Jackies were my older sister's. Bunty was innocent Innocent

    Night night Shimmer and hugs xxx
