Abstract

[Sleep is essential for the body to recharge itself. Yet many people with and without cancer have sleep difficulties. Insomnia and chronic sleep restriction are two common sleep disorders. There are a number of health risks associated with poor sleep. An increased risk of cancer is one of them, and the underlying mechanisms are being elucidated. Sleep disorders are disproportionately higher in cancer patients compared with the normal population. Fortunately, there are several strategies that clinicians may be able to advise for cancer patients who are experiencing sleep problems. This chapter will examine the various health risks associated with poor sleep, how poor sleep can contribute at the cellular level to inflammation and other pathomechanisms underpinning cancer. Finally, it will explore various strategies that the clinician may be able to offer patients to assist with better sleep.]
