I’m 8 days post 2nd Chemo and I just can’t sleep

  • Hi Shoes64

    Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer.  I had a read of your profile and you've certainly been through the mill over the last few years.  Could you maybe ring your GP and ask them to prescribe some sleeping tablet to help you sleep.  You could also try some meditation just before you go to bed to help you sleep.  There are some good meditation apps like Calm Radio or Breathe which are free to download.

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes

  • Same here! I am tired of being tired and then I can't sleep at night! I'm trying to stay awake all day and not nap so that I have to sleep at night, but I'm managing a few hours at best. I might try some old remedies like a milky drink before bed or sprinkling a bit of lavender. Really hard being alone with your thoughts at night isn't it, when all you want to do is nod off. I used to sleep like a log before all this.
