Hi
I sympathise! That feeling of utter exhaustion but utter inability to sleep because of the steroids is the pits. I’m lucky not to be on chemo at the moment so I’m generally sleeping a bit better but even so I’m often awake at night. I tend to just sleep when I can and take naps in the day as needed. I make them feel like a treat with strategically placed blankets so I can curl up at the drop of a hat.
I hope you’ve drifted back off now and that it will be morning when next you wake
