Thanks Martin. The first post I made had much more information but I am not sure why it did not work. Anyway, about 12 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and ever since then I have found it so hard to sleep. Last night for example I went to bed at 11.30, and woke up at 1am, and then just could not get back to sleep; hence why tonight I will have to take a sleeping pill. I am now finding it very difficult to function day to day. I have a really stressful job and my lack of sleep is now having a detrimental effect. I just feel so helpless and alone with this and wonder if you can give me any tips. I have tried everything over the years; taking hot baths at night, lavender oil, relaxtion tapes, etc. etc. but nothing works. I have even had hypnotherapy and, whilst it did definitely relax me, did not help my sleep pattern at all. I have tried hot milk, writing down all the things I need to do etc., before bedtime, but nothing works. Thanks.
