Hi Dan,just having 1 to 2 hours sleep will create energy problem. Ever since I was diagnosed with cancer, I had to depend on sleeping pills to put me to sleep not because of the pain but because of the heartbreaking news that I could not accept. I was on sleeping pills for about 10 months. When my body became stronger and I had accepted the reality, I stopped taking it. No problem of addiction to me. You may discuss with your doctors the use of sleeping pills in your case.
