The Power of Sleep During Cancer Treatment

Sleep is a key part of healing, especially during cancer treatment. Your body uses this time to restore itself, manage stress, and support your immune system. Unfortunately, many people undergoing treatment find it difficult to sleep well.

Why sleep matters:

• Helps your body recover from treatment
• Reduces fatigue and emotional stress
• Strengthens immune function

Tips for better sleep during treatment:

• Stick to a regular sleep schedule
• Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
• Avoid screen time before bed
• Try calming routines like reading, music, or meditation
• Let your care team know if pain or nausea is interrupting sleep

Good sleep supports healing, and we’re here to help if you’re struggling. Don’t hesitate to bring up sleep concerns at your next appointment.
