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, this thread popped up just now on my emails. Ive been a night owl for the past few weeks. Up to now ive just googled rubbish stuff . All the 'playing on your mind' type of stuff. Not good. Gp ga
me some low dose sleeping tablets, first one last night was great , 7 hours of unbroken sleep. She said take one every other night, only for a week. So tonight is the tablet free night and here i a, laying here listening to hubby's deep breathing with an occasional snore. I thought about watching a movie or reading a book, or maybe just make a cuppa. Instead a mental list of what im doing tomrow, well today. I havnt read any blogs yet. Still navigating my way through the forum and all the posts. It was the "clipping your toenails to so you can put your compression socks on" that caught eye haha. Read back then on your chats, ( hope you dont mind me eavesdropping). Well im torn between trying to sleep or maybe look on YouTube for something to pass the time. Bfn
Good morning Beekeeper, and if you're still around a warm welcome to you.
You read as many posts as you like my lovely, as they're all there to browse and reply to if you wish.
Well Mr U's blog is a very interesting read so far, and although candid, I doubt very much that he wants his readers to be maudlin, so I'll read on.
Don't worry about the multiple thumbs up emojis, as it happens every time I start a new paragraph 
unless I'm careful. Hopefully your hubby's snorts won't stop you getting some sleep eventually hon xxx
I forgot to give you your welcome pack of a night owl badge, so here it is xxx 
Thanks Gill, i will wear it with pride xxxx
