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."

Night xx
Morning all
Welcome Mr U & Beekeeper527494c , sorry you find yourself here. There's usually someone around to chat with.
I had a couple of awake hours during the night but I try to stay there and at least relax, sometimes it doesn't work 
Mr U I didn't go to work for over a year after my diagnosis, surgery & treatment then I eventually decided to retire.
Hopefully you've all had some more sleep.

Yes i have had a couple of hours but watch the tv again now. More K-dramas to catchup with.
Thanks 
Morning Helen.
I got just over four hours in, and been up for a while, but getting some jobs done before the flaming exercise class this afternoon. We don't like going to this one, far too serious and nobody talks 
it's tantamount to the most depised lesson at school, wishing the minutes away till it's over.
Anyway,, hopefully you've got better and more enjoyable things on your agenda for today. Hugs xxx
Sorry to hear about the exercise class, especially as you enjoyed the last one.
We've been and done some Christmas toy shopping for the grandkids this morning and made some table crackers; a very productive morning.
This afternoon will be more crochet and a Christmas movie or 2

I hope you enjoyed the exercise class more than expected. It will probably do you both more good than a despised lesson at school.
I slept very well last night after recovering from a very realistic nightmare. In it, I was awoken by the bed shaking and swaying. I switched the light on and said 'have we just had an earthquake?' Not sure who in the dream was there. I then woke up, realised that the light was not on and it was all a dream. It had made me feel uneasy, so I listened to The Brilliant Green on my MP3 player, fell asleep, woke up a while later because one of the earpieces was hurting my ear, turned the MP3 player off then slept until my alarm went off at 10am, did not have anything planned for today, so had an encore sleep until midday. I could well be looking in here tonight before I go to bed. I do not own a smartphone, TV or have a laptop upstairs, so if I can't sleep I resort to music or books - if I can be bothered to walk to the bookcase 8 feet away

I've been keeping up with the posts. I hope Eddy is having a relaxing time on his travels. I'm most impressed by his determination to do things. Ray x
