As cancer patients undergo treatment, insomnia is a common and unpleasant side effect. The good news is that there may be relief from insomnia due to the new programs offered by The University of Calgary and the Department of Psychosocial Resources at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. The program, called I-CAN Sleep, offers cancer patients solutions to their sleep problems without the use of medication. Patients will first undergo a sleep assessment, and then will be assigned to a program which will address and resolve their sleep needs. The sleep program will take place once a week for 8 weeks and are offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring.
Cancer patients may be eligible to participate if:
- You having trouble falling or remaining asleep
- You are experiencing difficulty during the day because of poor sleep
- You are at least 1 month post-treatment
For more information on this great sleep treatment program, please visit the I-CAN Sleep website!
