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."

I had a meat curry this evening and now I could definitely be a Windy Miller for the windmill.
Hi again. Well.done. How are you feeling tonight? You usually up this late?
Cheers
Shimmer, I'm off back to sleep hon. It's already started playing tricks and there's no evidence of a post from Robin on my device.
Night night for when you settle down pet, and get plenty of rest xxx
Speaking of food... well I will get to that
Gill H Well Stressy plus beer plus no food plus something to fixate on plus no one who stops him is never a good recipe.
Him and Scooterless went from club to pub. In theory this is getting Scooterless out. Football match however not on in pub TV till 4.30
I left them to it.
He has started to go on at Scooterless about his weight, inactivity, current cancer, brought it all on himself, to pal and anyone who will listen. He is supposed to be motivating pal to be proactive!!
Anyway, food rules so the diatribe is interlaced with 'am ungry, what's to eat, am avin prawn stir fry, what am I avin'. This is shared in numerous phone calls to me, too I at his kuz somebody had to take dog out!
He arrives, fuzzy!!! still chuntering and sits on sofa. I have made prawn stir fry and curry and he says put it down on sofa. (He never sits at table to eat). I do and walk away and hear 'OHHHH!'
Despite already being sat down, he had half sat on it so it was on sofa, on him, under him and on floor!
He still has all limbs
Wonder what colour my medal will be?
Cheers
Yup! It is testing one's patience!
