The Sleep Doctor's 5 Rules for Your Best Night Ever | Dr. Michael Breus
"There's now data to show that if you administer chemotherapy at a particular place in someone's circadian rhythm, they get— we need less chemo and it works better. The research is out there. Absolutely. Cancer has a circadian rhythm. We can actually help people with cancer faster and better if they're sleeping better."
Dr. Breus cited research showing that timing chemotherapy administration to a patient's circadian rhythm requires less chemo and produces better outcomes. This revelation suggests that cancer treatment protocols could be fundamentally improved simply by understanding patients' biological clocks, potentially reducing toxicity while improving efficacy.
