Who else can't sleep?
Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

@kezmusc funny how it affects people so differently I’ll be sure to keep I posted how I go.
@kmakm a woman I work with has just started using a magnesium spray for sore muscles and she swears by it and thinks its amazing - she also said if u spray it on your stomach it can help with sleep. I was going to get some but I looked on the herbs app and there is a contradiction with blood pressure meds so I can’t use it :s.
I would kill for a full nights sleep. I get home and I’m freezing so turn the electric blanket on and then turn it off just when I’m about to go to sleep. I doze off really quickly for about 1/2 hr and then get woken up by my first hot flush. After this it’s just a cycle of tossing and turning all night with flushes and an aching hip and knee, normally wide awake for awhile about 3-3-30am. Got some sleeping tablets when I first started chemo but don’t want to try one when I have to work the next day or when I have had any alcohol - should of had one last night :/
