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."

It won't let me reply now. I wonder if the storm could be affecting it.xx

That's possible ... if the overhead broadband line comes down, I may be absent for a while.

Stay safe Gill. My broadband is under ground. Hopefully it will be okay. If you go off we will understand. Try not to panic.xx

Nothing underground here out in the countryside, too expensive as not enough customers to pay for it. We've only had it here for about 2 years.

Yes but you have beautiful views. I live in a city but I have views of a park and a large garden I would love to live in the countryside we also have a busy main road.

Broadband, yes. Before that it was via a modem on the phone connection (smartphone) and I still have that as a bsckup. But the signal is not great
