Insomnia can be a massive challenge for anyone, but is a particularly difficult and common aspect of dealing with cancer and going through treatment. There are many things that can cause this, for example,  strong emotions, worry, and the cancer itself can cause difficulties sleeping due to pain, being uncomfortable, and changes in body functions that make sleep harder. 'Dexamethazoning', the sleepless high after chemo plus steroids, is so much of a thing that it has it's own term :)
This episode talks about what to do about all of this if you find yourself regularly awake at the wrong time, using common psychology techniques for insomnia (including sleep hygiene), also a rundown on some potentially useful herbs,  some short term medication if its absolutely necessary (and how to use this wisely instead of getting addicted).
