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."

Jann, they are not too bad at all although I'm not familiar with a couple of them. Having a wide and extensive taste in music is great. Always something that suits one's mood. Ray xx
Hey Jann I absolutely loved Northern Soul in my youth and still listen sometimes, even now. Deffo Dobie Gray. Keep the Faith xxx
Jann, I've just listened to an example of Alt J's and Drake's stuff. Not heard them before but certainly would not switch them off. Ray xx
