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."

Sounds like good plan. I decided not to back to work after finishing all my treatment.
When I went for my flu jab on Saturday one of the managers asked if I was possibly not enjoying retirement and would I like to go back to work. You can imagine my answer

Evening all 
After a pretty hectic day clearing cupboards, lugging bags for charity shop etc, I flopped into my pit and had 3 uninterrupted hours of dreamless kip! Just other stuff to do tonight and mission completed for another day.
Amanda, enjoy your return to getting back in the swing of work hon, it'll reset your coping mechanism and power up your skills bank xxx
Sonia sweetie, I bet you had that machine quaking in its magnetic boots! Salford woman power for the win 
Helen, time with boisterous grandkids always = strong drinks for me as well, a salve for sanity. I don't have that nowadays and roar like a demented gibbon at OH's antics instead. Shucks.
Kez, no volcanic activity today hon, but an ocean deep shifting of the plates could easily have triggered an eruption. A few bursts of boiling steam were swiftly snuffed out! Great that you enjoyed Halloween hon, but steel yourself for a week of colourful, explosive interruptions now xxx
Shimmers, pet. Arty pal must have stumbled across the elixir of drive and get crackingness...I want some!
Apart from being a busy bee 
today I was semi content till OH wrote he was going round to see mother! I ground out she wouldn't be in, as Sundays in particular are when she descends on other cabal members to gossip about our business. He left, I filled a quick charity bag, he came home, she wasn't in, I went to bed to avoid armageddon. The end.
Now watching Who wants to be a Millionaire and so far I've won £125K. I wish...
Rejuvenated from an evening siesta, I'll be back later if you fancy a natter hon xxx
Hugs all round

Well done removing yourself from a possible eruption

It worked a treat Helen, but how do I get to bed in the middle of Tesco's? A poser xxx
A brain freeze solution, so plausible. Or, I could ask them to set up a campbed in the store room 
TLC time now and then card in machine. Ching! Laters matey xxx
Ooooh! I don't believe I managed this!
