A study involving 111 patients at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary indicates that meditation and yoga can help those experiencing insomnia. It is estimated that 59% of cancer patients are affected by sleep problems during and after cancer treatment. According to study co-author Dr. Linda Carlson, mindfulness (including meditation, yoga and mood managing techniques) "helped people improve their insomnia" approximately three months after treatment.
