It is well known that cancer patients experience lack of sleep, which affects their symptoms and decrease their much needed energy, particularly while undergoing treatment. Insomnia, which is defined as a predominant complaint of dissatisfaction with sleep quantity or quality during different phases of the sleep cycle, could easily affect patients' quality of life and even cancer treatment outcomes. In this article, we review the current research on and treatments for insomnia, as well as explore cancer-related fatigue and its connections to sleep disorders.
众所周知，癌症患者存在睡眠不足的情况，这会影响他们的症状，并消耗他们急需的能量，尤其是在接受治疗期间。失眠被定义为在睡眠周期的不同阶段，对睡眠数量或质量不满的主要诉求，它很容易影响患者的生活质量，甚至癌症治疗效果。在本文中，我们回顾了目前关于失眠的研究和治疗方法，并探讨了与癌症相关的疲劳及其与睡眠障碍的联系。
