Hey Kenk,

Thank you for your input, man. I am not scheduled for ADT. I am not sure why my sleep issues started. I found out in December 2024 that I have cancer, and I did not have sleep issues then. It's weird they started now. Things are improving, however. I finally had to resort to medication, as I could not go to work on 3 hours. I'm using them less now though. 🙂
Thanx again for your input. Take care, man. Best wishes.

Gosh...only three hours of sleep? That's terrible. Can't imagine needing to work and being that sleep deprived.

My wife bought me a smartwatch (a Fitbit - the Versa 4 model) as a Christmas present before my PCa diagnosis. The smartwatch provides a daily "zero to 100" sleep score. Before PCa and ADT my scores were typically 75 to 80. Now with six hours of broken sleep and frequent wake-ups, my typical sleep scores are usually in the range of 60 to 65.

Could certainly be worse, but I'm really looking forward to discontinuing ADT in October.
