I’ve had no sleep yet, Jan, so it looks like I’ll miss half the day as I too will catnap.
Enjoy your walk, think I’ll try and get lots of fresh air then hopefully I’ll sleep tonight.
Fran, hope you got back to sleep - you too lelly.

Jan, you might have had a steroid just before the chemo. They sometimes give intravenous dexamethasone before chemo to help with the nausea. Sleep when you need to, eat when you feel like it, and take a gentle dog walk if you’re feeling up to it but don’t go bananas (and put your feet up for a snooze when you get back).
Haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in ages, and it’s very wearing.
Hi Libsue and Choccie - this is awful - the lack of sleep and only my day 2 - other All Nighters have had it much worse than me! After getting up at 5am, had breakfast and steroid and anti-sickness, did some chores, lay in the bath and then lunch - went upstairs for a snooze and thought that would sort me out but I’ve woken up feeling like I’ve got terrible jet lag. The nurse told me to make sure I don’t take the steroids after 2pm as they will interfere with sleep and I didn’t have any before chemo yesterday - I had Ondansetron first. But I’m going with you Choccie - just sleep, eat and do stuff when I feel like it - I’ve already flagged the dogwalk today - just can’t be bothered!
Tomorrow is another day! Do you know if I’d be able to take something like a Night Nurse tablet on top of all these other drugs?
Take care all!

Well night owls I had a much better night last night… I went to sleep about 3and slept till 5.30 when I had to scare away a nasty cat frightening my boys… And then went back to bed and fell straight back to sleep until 9am when the nurse came r I’d probably have slept longer! Best sleep iv had in ages it’s so nice not to have that middle of the night wakey time for a few hours… Also slept on the sofa bed away from OHs snoring.
Hope to have a repeat performance tonight and thnk I’m just gonna sleep downstairs again.
Love and hugs xxxx
I have just looked back and realised I have slep through the night now since Saturday…fantastic. Perhaps it is the increased exercise or the nightcap!!!
Sleep well all
Cackles
Most likely the nightcap Cackles! I’ve had a few glasses of wine this evening, not saying how many, or how large the glasses were, but I now feel drowsy and hope so much that I get to sleep soon and stay asleep. Time will tell, but I really don’t want to be checking in here later.
I wish you all some quality sleep, and happy dreams.

Stress can be so completely knackering but also prevents a decent night’s sleep. maybe a glass of some grape juice would have helped, but it’s far too late now to wield the corkscrew, so I’m just going to hang around until I feel really tired, then give it a go and hope for the best. Night all, sweet dreams and lots of 'em.
Wow - 4 of my fave posters one after the other!
Night night, Lulu, Cackles, Libsue and CM.
Group hug!

What is the matter with us …the usual night riders.

Hugs and xxxx

Hello to you all
I am nursing a damn cold myself and just can’t get to sleep. I am so tired but the moment my head hits the pillow that puts paid to it.
I do hope this is not going to be the norm for time to come.
Alanaa and Fat Cat xx
I read all your posts every night as I seem to be up until about 4.00am. It helps to know I’m not all alone.
Now I’m so cold so hoping that a warm bed will be enticing…
Hope those with colds have ‘dropped off’ if you know what I mean…
It’s just the awful sore throat you wake up with because you can’t breathe normally is the absolute pain!
Hello UANers
I did have a good sleep from about 2 till 4.30. My eyes feel heavy but my body seems awake and jumpy almost like I’m having palpitations again. I’ll have a quick look here and then hopefully get back to sleep although now have the middle-of-the-night-munchies so gonna have a weed picnic of orange clubs (not as good as minty) but tasting better than they did two days ago… Yay for taste buds.
Love lulu xxx
Morning all. Well I suppose nearly 5 hrs is better than recently…
On my phone which makes posting “interesting”.
Let’s see if tonight is any better. Hope this thread is really quiet tonight because we’re all snoring!

Friday night treat - It’s the one night I take Zopiclone so night night all!

No snoring yet but hubby & I changed the bed so no more food & cough syrup stains! Just watching a bit of tv before we settle down (NCIS). Got a weekend of just me & him. I’ve managed to stay awake all afternoon & evening - no naps! Hoping this is the beginning of the end of this bug although my cough is still evil & chest rattling nicely!
Hope the sleep fairy visits you all…especially Clare in her new bed!
Night

Laurie,
I swear I can hear your snores! Sleep soundly, I hope you waken refreshed.
Twinky, you sound so happy to have hubby home, have a lovely weekend together and sleep well.
Clare, Lulu, Cackles and CM hoping you don’t visit here later.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Night night all you UPAN@s

G night all…as she gulps through her mound of pills, I’m sure Zopiclone is in there somewhere…
