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."

Looks cosy.
What's a power saving hour? Something official or your idea of romance by candlelight to entice Alan? 
Evening Angus 
️
I've got to ask...are you Scottish? I've only ever known one Angus and she was a girl. Well, early 20s but I thought her name was fab! She played contra bassoon in the orchestra my eldest was a member 
of and she'd often ask me why I hadn't given her such a catchy name. Well I wasn't to know.
Anyway, I reckon worry is behind most of our sleep issues, so if you find yourself awake when night owls are around, join in the conversation as we chat about lots of things and post photos too. Animals are always a favourite, plus flowers, craft, anything at all. The random chat definitely works for me and temporarily takes away the worrying about my OH - I'm his carer, for my sins.
Drop in anytime you're after a change of scenery. Sending hugs 
We're with Octopus for our electric (no gas here) and they do power saving hours now and again so we have to turn everything off, hence the candle light wine drinking

Well it's as good an excuse to pop corks as I can think of H 
but not if it interfered with a drama or football. Do you get a choice when to turn the leccy off hon? xxx
Do you get a choice when to turn the leccy off
No, they message during the day to say there's a power saving hour and what time it will be and we join if we can. We did quite a lot while we were away during September & October 
Hi again Angus ️
Aye, I read your profile last night and you've certainly been through the mill, but are indeed still here and it's brilliant that you're mastering the art of calligraphy. Your dear wife should make you write everyone's Christmas cards this year to impress the socks off them!
Now Helen (Sbird) is wonderful with crochet and other woolly things and often treats us with photos of things she's crafted. If you can persuade your wife to allow us to see a photo of something she's made we too can appreciate her talent. No pressure though, I'm a bit cheeky!
My OH will 'celebrate' 2 years since his surgery on 12th December but we know about the consequences of treatment only too well. I'll narrow it down a bit...if there's something that'll go awry it's guaranteed he'll get it. We plod on.
Take care and best wishes to you both xxx
