Sleeping

Hi Ladies,

I’m really worried about my Mum’s sleeping, she is on a very low sleeping tablet but she hates taking them but is anyone else having similar problems. We are starting to notice her looking tired and drained for the first time in a while and think its her not sleeping.

Any ideas?

Thanks Ladies

Relaxation CDs worked for me.

I personally haven’t had a full night’s sleep since 16th Aug when I had my WLE and SNB, I’m shattered! but what I have learnt to do is catch a few zzzz’s throughout the day, couldn’t get used to it at first and so the bags under my eyes were rapidly turning into suitcases and looking like I’d done ten rounds in a boxing ring! The only thing is I really didn’t want to take anything to make me sleep so I had to adopt the nana naps, but I set my alarm to only let me have a couple of hours tops so that I have a fighting chance of sleeping at night too. It might be worth just ringing the helpline and having a quick chat, to ease your worry if nothing else. Best wishes, Simone xxx
