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."

A fine choice of fare though, Ray - especially the cheese and onion sarnies.

It's good news that everything seems to have settled now fella, so just relax and enjoy your Sunday evening as there's no school tomorrow xxx

When I was a boy in Doncaster there was an area of barren land at the end of our two up two down terraced houses. My dad had an allotment there.
