Hi Karin
Yes lack of sleep is so debilitating. Whilst on chemo I found it difficult to sleep. I spent a lot of night time on the laptop chatting with others doing the same thing. I suffer from sinus so have been taking a half of Zytex each night. It also helps with my sleeping. I try and limit the drugs I take but sometimes !!!!!. Once my body gets back into a rhythm I stop taking the Zyrtex. I once read that if you can't sleep, you should get up and read or watch TV until you are again sleepy. Some times it works for me. I really do appreciate a good nights sleep - and so does my husband!!!!! (takes away the grumpy me). I nearly forgot, when I am really stressed from lack of sleep I return to meditating. I really should do the meditating eah day but like all good things we only do it when it gets to the "must do" stage.XLeonie
