Why are Cancer Patients Prone to Sleep Disturbances?
Cancer patients often experience sleep disturbances due to multiple factors such as the physical symptoms of the disease, side effects from treatments, and psychological stress. Physical symptoms like pain, nausea, and fatigue can disrupt sleep. Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also have side effects that interfere with sleep. Additionally, the emotional and psychological burden of a cancer diagnosis can lead to anxiety and depression, further complicating sleep patterns.
