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 hit the back of the net by naming and shaming the main perp within 10 seconds of the first episode but it wasn't revealed till tonight's part 5.

    I'm a sod for doing that but OH doesn't seem to mind. He's amused that I seem to know the plot Relaxed️

  • Ha! Same here ... Stressy always clueless even though I've pointed out the main suspect! He watches Columbo lots and makes a point of  saying 'they did it' of whoever the first person on screen is Slight smile

    He can rewatch films though and claim to be oblivious of seeing them previously.

    Cheers

  • JoySmile Love it!

    Scriptwriters have little imagination it seems and the holes in their plots are easy to see through.

    I must admit I probably ruin dramas as all through the 5 eps I've been giving it 'It's Tom you know'. Then when Tom was the reveal, OH got assailed with 'Told you.'

    I must be an utter pain to watch telly with and feel bad for screwing up yet another series for OH. Good job he loves me Yellow heart

  • Hi, if tech issues and late hour means you best go, that's fine.

    The prog about cancer tonight and other research basically says we are all doomed, modern life, exposure to chemicals and we don't eat 30 g of fibre daily.

    Cheers

  • And don't forget processed food will see us all off. It's official.

    I've been wolfing it for 68 years so not done too badly.
