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."

Morning Ray, for when you drop in. 
Just to correct your thought - we absolutely love to hear screaming gulls at any hour of the day, as being trapped inland it's a racket we don't hear often enough!
Have the best day, hon xxx
We'll be on alert Helen.
Many years ago we got dive-bombed by a pack of gulls in New Brighton and they were vicious. Absolutely huge when in your face and they meant business - I ended up throwing my chips on the floor to get them off my case and trying to shield the kids from the onslaught.
If the gulls start it'll be chips down and scarper! xxx
Oh blimey, that sounds horrible Gill !!

Good afternoon Mrsmilo, and a warm welcome to our group 
Oh dear, I'm not surprised you're fed up with all that going on hon, but is there a reason behind the panicky feelings, like a recent diagnosis or waiting for results? Those alone are enough to wake anyone from sleeping, so I'm hoping you've told someone who may be treating you medically.
Please come back and give a few more details, as we may be able to give you tips that could help.
Sending you hugs xxx
