Can Regular Sleep Help Prevent Cancer?

Yesterday I wrote about the importance of sleep in cancer recovery. In her book Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time, Dr Lynne Eldridge sites a number of studies that conclude that not only is the amount of sleep important to cancer prevention and recovery, but Circadian rhythms and sleeping at night are as well.
E-mail us if you would like more details. But rest assured (pun intended!) that it is important for all of us to get at least seven hours of sleep. It is also important that, whenever possible, that sleep be at night, at regular daily intervals. This doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't nap or rest during the day. Just sleep at least seven hours each and every night. Pleasant dreams! Feel good and keep smiling! Pat
