I've had intermittent insomnia and disturbed sleep for as long as I can remember (my husband tells me I can jackknife into a sitting position like a ninja, which I cannot do when awake!), although it did improve as I got older. I don't need much sleep, 6 or 7 hours is a really good sleep for me, so I coped pretty well with the dexamethasone induced insomnia. I'm sleeping better now I'm off the steroids, but I'm now getting hot flushes at night, and the doona on, doona off routine is something new to add to the mix 🙄 I haven't even started hormone therapy yet 😐
