Hey Paul, I've had problems sleeping since starting Gleevec. I'll fall asleep and wake up anywhere from 2 to 4 times a night, every 2 to 3 hours basically. All the times I wake up I need go to the bathroom so I'm thinking that my additional in take of water might have something to do with it. Fortunately I have no night pain to speak of. Brenda
