Getting enough rest is an important part of your routine while taking anti-cancer medication. Schedule sleep into your daily routine.

• Aim for at least eight hours of sleep each night.
• Take short naps (no longer than one hour).
• Eliminate distractions such as TV to allow for more restful sleep.
• Tell your doctor if you frequently wake up during the night or if you have trouble falling asleep.
