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."

  • Fuuu! Glad that the telly at least is a bit of tech that is working! How appropriate Slight smile

    Actually I had wondered off to have a nosy about the building you are in. It's got quite a history!

    Cheers

  • An old jazz club I believe xxx

  • Phooooar! Been looking at some pics of the rooms! Very high end!!

    Err yeah, built as a hydro hotel, supposedly ran out of money before adding the second wing, yep was a swinging jazz club, derelict for a bit, then became apartments. 

    Ballroom was a health club but is now empty. Ooh it is all so very swish and practically in the sea Joy

    Cheers 

  • Lol. The first thing I thought when we came through the door was The Shining. I looked at eldest and said  'Wendy... I'm home.' then gave her a crazed grin. We also share the same warped humour and she smirked.

    You won't believe this but I've knocked the glass over again and re-splashed the remotes. I've moved well away to another sofa as it's got ridiculous.

    And my phone's stopped making a clicking sound when I type. Sugar!

    Think something's telling me to get to bed hon. Hope I don't hear HERE'S JOHNNY! Ooer xxx

  • Ooh quick! Get under the covers before anything else happens!

    You know a duvet is all terror and disaster proof Joy

    Nyt, sweet seaside dreams and have a terrific day tomorrow.

  • Yep, probably better to bring it up when we get home, Shims.

    OH would never attempt to gaslight me as he knows there's nothing wrong with my recall, and I've no qualms asking him about anything.

    But definitely better at home as I want to retain the almost status quo. We are on holiday after all so it can wait.

    Did you really get hacked, Shims? xxx

  • Morning folks Sun with face 

    This is the view I'd wish to wake up to every morning but can't. I'm determined to make it happen somehow Pray

    For Shimmer. The last post to yourself is the one that went awol last night but was here this morning. I can't detect anything untoward?

    Anyway, hoping you all have a lovely day and there's some pleasant things in store.

    Hugs and love from a cool but refreshingly bracing Redcar xxx

  • That picture is awesome!

    Quick! Flog it to the people renting out the Mansions! Joy

    No idea if hacked. I ran my bog standard Google virus whatsit n nada. The message came up during a game and looked very genuine and wanted me to get another app. I googled 'been hacked' message n it said most are scams and wouldn't be pop up but a notification. Can't remember how it presented. 

    See this is why I don't want my whole life digitized!! Rage

    Anyway day two of the life to which you would like to become accustomed! What's on the agenda?

    For me it's craft group but I've already been to Scooterless's to help Stressy get the king-size bed with drawers, mattress n topper out, floor hoovered and n skirtings tackled etc as in theory, a hospital style bed is finally being delivered ... between 9-4!

    Cheers
