Here is a special contest that should capture your fancy. Nautica is holding a contest where a lucky winner gets to take home a Susan G. Komen “Sleep in For the Cure” bath robe. This actually a fundraiser of sorts for the breast cancer research.

Some people are too ill, are caring for a loved one, or simply have to work on race day. Instead, Susan G. Komen For The Cure and Nautica want participants to fight breast cancer from the comfort of their beds. A good cause and obviously a good prize!

People who have gone through cancer are bound to have problems and this includes sleep. After going through various chemotherapy and radiation procedures, a new study has revealed that yoga can help in this area and also cut back on sleeping medications.

The study included 410 cancer survivors who had completed treatment in the previous two years and had been experiencing sleep problems for at least two months. All but 16 of the patients were women, and 75 percent were breast cancer survivors. In addition to the standard post-treatment care that everyone received, half of the study participants attended 75-minute yoga sessions twice a week for a month.

There are people who hate to sleep in the dark. Some of them go as far as using night lights or leaving the room light on. But based on a research, it was found that night lights are somewhat contributing to breast cancer thus becoming a potential threat while they are sleeping.

The risk of developing breast cancer, something common in most women seems to be placed at a higher level due to lighting. Actually the test was aimed to see if there was an associating with lung cancer but instead, it all pointed towards breast cancer for women.

“By no means are we saying that light at night is the only or the major risk factor for breast cancer,” said lead researcher Itai Kloog, “but we found a clear and strong correlation that should be taken into consideration.”

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be the answer to sleep deprivation. After recent studies conducted at Medical Research Council (MRC) general Practice Research Framework in London, it was found that HRT can be a potential answer to all sleep-related problems that is becoming a concern these days.

“Benefits of HRT justify a rethink” is the headline in The Times. A recent study of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has shown that women “showed significantly fewer hot flushes, night sweats, aching joints and muscles, insomnia and vaginal dryness than those given a placebo”, the newspaper says. The researchers suggest that current guideline advice based on other research showing that HRT could increase the risk of serious diseases including breast cancer, coronary heart disease and blood clots in selected women should be “revisited”.
