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."

Hi again Sonia 
You're probably right hon, as it's some business meeting with Manchester based colleagues. She could stay overnight in an all expenses paid hotel, but won't do that as it's on taxpayers' money and the train journey back over the Pennines is only around 30 minutes. She's got principles and doesn't waver.
Well OH's insisting he's ok now but I'm in two minds. Does he fear a trip to A&E, knowing what'll be on the cards, or was he laying it on thick and sympathy hunting? Who knows? I certainly don't!
And with the pressure off, hopefully, I might have a snooze if I can get off. Hugs hon xxx
Doesn't sound like it's changed much in 50 years Gill.
Being young and up for anything I remember going in the Legs with a mate when I was in my late teens and it was like a zoo then. If you stood still for too long your shoes stuck to the floor and the toilet paper was kept behind the bar (customers had to ask for it in advance).
There were some epic fights along the Headrow on Saturday nights.
Others along there were The Vine (never went in), the Horse and Trumpet (quite civilised) and The Guildford (nice, we used to go in there from work and I proposed to the now Mrs Excavator in there on Friday 13th January 1978).
Happy days.
PS. Useless fact - Friday 13th January 1978 was also the day that NASA selected its first American female astronauts.
