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."

    That's great about Toby and their food being agreeable with your tum. All the more reason to go more often! Thumbsup I rarely fry food these days myself. 

    Have you started WFH yet hon? When OH did he liked it a lot but didn't take advantage and got in the same hours as when he was in the office. The big advantage was no travelling on a busy motorway. 

    I'd better crack on and catch up with yesterday's jobs - no rest for the wicked!

    You have a lovely day sweetheart xxx Sparkles️
