A recent study made public last month by Stanford researchers David Spiegel, M.D., and
Sandra Sephton, Ph.D., suggests that getting a good night's sleep may be an
important factor in the link between mental well-being and cancer recovery.
Previous research has established that cancer patients who have strong social networks
fare better than those with weaker social support. The new study suggests that how well
you sleep can seriously affect the balance of two important hormones -- melatonin and
cortisol -- connected with the normal sleep cycle.
In plain language, having a regular, uninterrupted sleep cycle helps your
body's natural ability to protect itself against cancer cells. It's also common
sense that sleeping well is a major factor for enjoying good health.
According to the Better Sleep Council Stress Survey conducted in May 2003, 66%
of Americans are losing sleep due to stress, up from 51% last year.
One effective treatment for stress-related insomnia is relaxation guided
imagery.
It's safe, natural, easy -- and can serve as a powerful complement to other sleep
therapies.

regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed."
