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 everyone,
I hope everyone managed some sleep 
I finally drifted off but woke at 00.15 with a hot flush. Got up and put the washing machine and dishwasher on to take advantage of the cheaper electricity and then grabbed an ice pack to cuddle. Didn't think sleep would come but it did and I woke with the alarm at 6am for today's meds rounds to start.
Took car to garage this morning after the school run and decided to walk the hour back. Made it as far as Tamworth Castle and the heavens opened with some hail! Decided to call a taxi as it felt super cold and that saved the last 25mins but I'm glad I got some steps in.
I've noticed that the steroids make me quite sleepy after taking them. I'm fighting it at the moment as I want to try and sleep through the night as much as I can.
I hope everyone is having a good day so far 
Outside the front door
