Who else can't sleep?

@kmakm seems like your body is healing nicely from chemo  :p. @Sister that sounds crap. Have a quiet day today. I’m guessing the cold doesn’t help the aching legs. 

Up at 3am - back to bed, exhausted and legs aching at 5am, up again at 7:30am... So, does that technically mean I slept in?
@kezmusc Your teeth will be clean right inside
@kmakm I don't know what I'd do with one - these days that just seems like a lot of work

Well for a change I didn't have a cancer dream but instead a dream about a big man. And I mean tall and 'big'...!  ;) B) :p

@kezmusc oh dear - at least your teeth will me nicely exfoliated.   :D. I think my hot flushes were worse last night and I definitely tossed and turned more. 

Wow,  this morning has gone well.  Awake at 4am.  Trips over bathrobe then takes 5 minutes to get it on the right way in the freezing cold.  And brushes teeth with face cleanser.

Guess the only way is up from here............LOL

 from chemist!
I have learnt what works for me. 3 drops lavender 2 cups Epsom Salts Warm Bath and Bed. if really wound up Meditation on my IPod.... But it did take me few years to work it out.

I'm all over the sleep hygiene @JJ70! I'm seeing my oncologist next week and I'll ask her about the best time of day to the AI. K xox

@kmakm not so much the magnesium at 830, but any hormone blocker like Tamoxifen.
Magnesium one hour before bed. Melatonin half hour before bed I think. No screens 1hr before bed.
Sleep hygiene - Google it to check out other ideas that may support better sleep. Hoping magnesium is helpful for your discomfort.  X

Might try an Epsom Salts bath this weekend. Now that the pain is starting in my hands and wrists I'll give anything a go. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. K xox

@JJ70 Who, moi?!



Actually, that's really interesting, thank you. I take a bunch at breakfast and a bunch before I go to sleep. I'll see if I can take the Magnesium at 8.30pm.
