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."

Morning Audrey 
That sounds like a good idea - the thinking alone would possibly cause your mind to shut down in the early hours.
One thing I've tried is to remember dreams I've had; the energy it takes sometimes leads to immediate zonk out!
Hope you're feeling well my lovely xxx
Have a great time. Wrap warm and enjoy x

I have tried these in the past. As you can guess my brain is difficult to switch off. Took 5 mins to put me sleep with general anesthetic. But its been a while since I did try them so it is another option to try again.
