Slow hands, quiet nights? Tai chi and a matched exercise class nudged sleep about equally in older men after cancer
Sleep disturbances affect up to 60% of people after primary cancer treatment, and they are often waved away as the price of treatment, or of age. For older men in particular, science has had little to offer.
AI Summary
A study led by Evelyn Arana‑Chicas of Rutgers Cancer Institute examined sleep disturbances in older men who had completed primary cancer treatment. Up to 60 % of these men report insomnia, yet most behavioral research has focused on women with breast cancer. The team compared a Tai chi class with a matched exercise class to see which better improved sleep. Both interventions were found to nudge sleep quality about equally in this population.
