“Yes, yoga can be beneficial for sleep disturbances, which are very common among cancer patients. Pain, treatment side effects, stress, and anxiety often interfere with restful sleep. Yoga practices that focus on deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, and gentle stretching help calm the nervous system and reduce stress levels. Studies have shown that regular yoga practice can improve both sleep quality and sleep duration in cancer patients. Better sleep, in turn, supports recovery, mood, energy levels, and overall well-being during treatment,” said Dr. Samar.
