As a chronic disease, cancer patients often have a long recovery period after treatment and discharge. They need to improve their discomfort symptoms and general condition to stabilize the disease and reduce the risk of recurrence. At this time, most of the patients think of the countermeasures from the aspects of diet, exercise and so on, but the problem of poor sleep of many patients has not attracted attention. So, can poor sleep also induce cancer recurrence? How can patients ensure energy?
In fact, high-quality sleep is as important as diet and exercise. It plays an irreplaceable role in cancer rehabilitation, not only ensuring sufficient energy, but also closely related to the survival time of patients. This is because poor sleep quality will affect the brain and endocrine function of patients. In the long run, it will also interfere with the autonomic nervous system and immune system of the human body, affect the balance of metabolism, make the immunity decline, directly affect the rehabilitation of patients, and increase the risk of recurrence and metastasis.

Set the time of going to bed and getting up every day to keep a regular biological clock; Control the rest time during the day. For example, the nap time should not start too late, and the duration should be around 30 minutes. Do not take a nap after three o'clock in the afternoon; Foods such as coffee, strong tea, cola, chocolate and other foods that increase excitement should be restricted before bedtime; Don't just lie in bed and have a rest. Read books and play mobile phones to reduce the time in bed. Rest at night is to create a good sleep environment.
At the same time, patients can also be treated as a whole in combination with traditional Chinese medicine. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is an organic whole, and whether it is cancer itself or various antagonistic treatments, it is easy to cause the dysfunction of qi and blood, yin and yang, and viscera in the body, leading to sleep problems. Under the principle of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine mainly focuses on strengthening the foundation of the foundation. By improving the local symptoms and the overall state, it reconstructs the yin and yang balance of the internal environment of the machine, thus eliminating the cause of insomnia, improving the quality of sleep, improving the prognosis and survival of patients, and stabilizing the overall situation.
