Yoga Eases Sleep Problems Among Cancer Survivors

Study found those who practiced it for four weeks after chemo slept better,

used fewer sleep aids

The study authors involved 410 cancer survivors, average age 54, who had

finished treatment two to 24 months before and who still reported

greater-than-average sleep disruptions. Almost all of the participants were

women, and three-quarters had had breast cancer, although the cancer had not

spread. None had done any yoga in the past three months.

Participants were randomized either to receive regular follow-up care for

cancer survivors or to receive regular care plus two 75-minute sessions of

yoga per week for four weeks.

All the best,
