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."

Well you'll be feeling groggy now - shock to the system no doubt ... your body will be saying "sleep, what is this strange and new experience?" but I reckon it will have done you good 
All the best for your telling off this afternoon ... I got told off yesterday too. I had an appointment at the hospital which all went really well. Afterwards, me and my much better other half decided to treat ourselves in a well known coffee shop, to some fancy cold drinks. Just as they were about to start (they hadn't poured anything yet) I asked ooh could I have oat milk. I'm not allergic so it wouldn't have mattered but know they do alternative milks and so thought I would. A 5 minute lecture (felt like an hour) on how I should have said when I ordered. In front of other customers. Was supposed to be a treat, a little pleasurable reward to myself! I think actually, it started as a telling off and then I think they were trying to dig themselves out of a whole but were digging deeper and deeper ... I'm familiar with digging myself in to a whole so know the signs!
Hope your telling off isn't too unbearable. You take care too my lovely x
Hi Jane, 
I saw your name flash up on my notifications a few days ago. Like Eddiel I wanted to say a thank you to you for making me feel welcome a few months ago when I was at the start of my "journey" on this site. I don't sleep well these days so will maybe get to chat again with you during the nocturnal hours x
