During my chemo I had terrible hot flashes and couldn't sleep through the night. Now the hot flashes are few and far between but I still have trouble sleeping. I take Ambien CR which puts me to sleep but then in about 2 hours I'm up again. If I take an Ativan I can go back to sleep for about 4 fours straight. Chemo really messes with your body in every way. Guess it just takes time for the body to readjust.
