It's been said here before, but Melatonin is said to be good for bc folks anyway. Some take it as a supplement, with or without sleep problems. I think the rec. dosage is 20mgs, though that strikes me as a whopping lot (I know it can also cause morning headaches at that dose). I take 6-9 mgs. It's not as effective as prescription sleep aids, but it feels much safer and it does help... some.
Just wanted to second (third?) that advice-- and the compliments on your pic.
Good luck. Sleep is critical. (BTW, every doc I've spoken to about this has emphasized the need for the darkest, quietest possible sleeping arrangements. So much that during chemo and post-surgery, I sleep in the office/guest room. And when I sleep in my own bed with DH, I use a sleep mask and ear plugs. Very sexy! But whaddya gonna do?)
