We all know sleep is important. But if you have a chronic illness—or cancer—it's not just about feeling rested.
Sleep plays a direct role in treatment effectiveness, recovery, and overall health. Lack of sleep affects so many of us in the modern world and the working life culture of the West doesn't exactly help. Fancy an afternoon nap at work? Ridiculous waste of time. Except it isn't. The opposite, in fact as you're about to hear over the next 20 minutes.
The problem? Culturally too many see sleep as a waste of time in certain situations. Plus, sleep science is still in its infancy, and resources in the UK are shockingly limited.
In this episode, I sit down with Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr Jill McGarry to break down the facts: why sleep matters more than you think, how poor sleep can impact some cancer treatments, and what practical steps patients can take today.
