We all know that sleep is essential for our bodies and minds, but getting good sleep isn’t always easy, especially when you're managing a chronic condition.
Most adults between 18 and 60 need at least 7 hours of sleep per night. For those over 60, the recommendation is 7 to 9 hours, and for those over 65, 7 to 8 hours. But what about in real life, when pain flares up, anxiety won’t switch off, or medications disrupt your rhythms?
💬 Let’s talk about it:
How many hours of sleep do you usually get each night?
Has your sleep changed since your diagnosis or treatment?
Are there symptoms or side effects that make sleep harder?
What helps you rest better: routines, tricks, or small comforts?

Whether you’re struggling or thriving in the sleep department, your experience might help someone else feel seen.
Take care,
