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."

  • hi just to tell you about me 

    I used to work for an airline at Luton and I used to sell and buy currency so airplanes could take of and fly where ever

    Passengers never realised that the moment you leave the UK we had to pay to fly over any country maybe France Spain and any where in Europe it was like a toll to fly - I loved my job 

    we also had to pay baggage handlers etc - what a job - loved it 

    it was like tv - buy - sell and i had to make my mind up bloody quick

    Loved  it - like i like being here with friends

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Sounds like you had an exciting job hon, and a bonus that you loved it. I'd no idea about any of those things, but I'm not a frequent flyer. I've not been on a plane since 1996 and don't intend to, as I've got a perforated eardrum - pressure plays havoc with it, and it's flaming painful.

    Did you have a look at your thread sweetie? xxx
