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."

Hiya Shims
Shopping done early today and gonna make some dinner soon. Linda's mince pies whetted my voracious appetite!
I'm not allowed in the kitchen till I've finished clearing the chest of drawers, which is taking too long as busy looking at old photos and stuff. Well I've got to be careful as I wouldn't like to throw heirlooms out with ancient scart leads!
Many thanks for trying to sort the glitches Shimmers...my post to Linda got a danger warning and I'm thinking 'scrape' must be a trigger word. Hey ho.
Will natter later hon, as I need to speed up as hunger pangs are ramping up! xxx
Hiya.
Sorry for the late reply. It’s great to think about something different.
Aww, bless him. Glad he has settled. Some of the little ones, and pets are absolutely terrified of the fireworks. It’s such a shame.
I have had an okay day, chilling now, been watching the rugby, and we are waiting on a takeaway being delivered. xx
