Awake and up all night

Beautiful Ray.xxx

The first thing Cullieo Is not to beat yourself up and to get by in whatever way you can. If sleeping in the day works, go for it. Is there any way you could rope anyone into taking the kids to school, even for one day. Also your body is reacting to your anxiety. Be super kind to yourself and bent on here whenever you want.All put love and support to you

That should have said vent.

Hello Cullieo, you have found the right sub forum for questions regarding insomnia. We do also chat about almost anything else during the day and night here. From what I've seen, there is a wide variety of coping methods, each depending on personal circumstances. Your current method of catching up with sleep by cat-napping is widely mentioned, though it is not so much a deliberate ploy, more a natural response after sleeplessness or interrupted sleep during the night. I'm more in the category of someone who simply has night owl tendencies, a luxury of living alone. I can listen to music all night if I so desire....hardly practical in your case with family routines to manage. If you have not joined already, the mods may be able to suggest another forum within the Macmillan site which is focused on your particular type of cancer. For example, I am also a member of the Bladder Cancer forum.

Anxiety caused by cancer, its treatment and the sometimes weeks-long wait for results of tests is widely reported on almost all of these forums. I deal with mine, with varying success, by self hypnosis on you tube, listening to music or often by chatting to similarly afflicted or empathetic members on here.

Best wishes for your appointment next week.  Ray x

How do you cook your breakfast eggs Helen, and how many at once?

I have them fried, boiled or poached. Normally with one slice of wholemeal toast.
