Are You a Night Owl or an Early Lark?

Whether you are a night person, morning person or fall somewhere in between, I can’t stress enough the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.

How well you sleep or don’t sleep can seriously alter the balance of hormones in your body. This can then disrupt your sleep/wake cycle, also called the circadian rhythm. A disrupted circadian rhythm may influence cancer progression through shifts in hormones like melatonin, which the brain makes during sleep.
