Preferences for Help with a Sleep Problem Before Starting Cancer Treatment

Being diagnosed with cancer can be overwhelming and is often associated with significant disruptions. Before beginning cancer treatment, many patients experience poor sleep. Disrupted sleep has meaningful clinical implications beyond 'just' not feeling rested. Patients who sleep poorly prior may experience worse pain, fatigue, and depression during treatment (1). Further, sleep often gets worse as treatment progresses (2) and chronic sleep problems are associated with major negative health consequences (3, 4).
