Re: Can't sleep!

I had the same problem during chemo and it was from the steroids as Debbie says, I still don't sleep well so think the suggestion of listening to books on an ipod is a good one and will try that myself. My friend told me Melatonin sometimes helps but you need to ask your Onc about that before trying it. I used to just nap as often as I could though the day and get online when awake through the night, not ideal but it should improve once you're finished, I think in my case Arimidex is the culprit!
