ncteacher - Like you (and Ken20), I'm convinced Decadron (dexamethasone) causes insomnia following Gem/Abrax infusions. After my last infusion one week ago I slept only 2 hours that night. Sleeplessness happens every time. No hiccups here however.

On those sleep-deprived nights, I just camp out on the living room couch with the TV on. I drift in and out as needed. It also helps that my daughter is a night ER nurse, so she's often either awake at work or awake at home, and we can chat while I'm awake.
