Hi YMP,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear this - I can understand how difficult this is.

It's difficult to give anything other than general advice for this, such as the things you have tried - finding time to relax, staying away from screens in the evenings, setting a routine for bedtimes and getting up times, and so on. If you find you have questions during these times, perhaps you could have a notebook by your bed to write things down so it can be referred back to and not overly worried about at the time.

Aside from this, it would be worth speaking to your doctor to see if there's anything they can suggest to help with this.

Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon - you could also have a search of the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for any other potentially relevant discussions.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
