Sleep

SarahS

Had a rubbish night sleep last night - so much tossing and turning as I've got a consultant appointment coming up. 

Any tips on how to cope with this a bit better? The stress and anxiety? Do other people find it influences their sleep?

Hi Sarah,

I am also having real trouble sleeping at the moment - cursed by horrible dreams. Have you tried Headspace? They have really good sessions dedicated to sleep and they often help me nod off? Hope the appointment goes well.

Hi Sarah. Have you tried Nytol that you can buy over the counter? I’ve always had problems sleeping but today is my “cancerversary “ and I’ve hardly had a normal nights sleep. Stage 3 Bowel with ileostomy and 6 months chemo. Nytol is an old type of antihistamine that makes you drowsy. If in doubt, check with doc but mine said it was ok.
