I have had sleep problems on and off since my initial cancer treatment in 2005. In my research to find sound sleep I learned that insomnia through the night will increase the number of times I get up to urinate. If I am able to sleep soundly through the night, maybe up once to urinate but able to return quickly to sleep, it suggests that urinary frequency at night is not the problem. I consume 80-90 ounces of liquid per day through my PEG tube. Do you have daytime sleepiness, restless legs, difficulty falling back to sleep after you get up?
Sorry to change the topic but I wanted to address fishmanpa's concerns and this may be of interest to others. Sleep disorders are a common problem for those who are being treated for cancer and for those who have NED.
