Crucial Catch was started by the NFL in 2009 to empower fans to take their health into their own hands through cancer screening, education and risk detection.

 

The Connection Between Cancer and Sleep

The role of sleep in cancer prevention and recovery is undeniable, and Sleep Number is proud to tap into the strength of our partnerships to drive awareness and save lives.

 

The National Cancer Institute (part of the National Institutes of Health) estimates that as many as half of cancer patients have trouble sleeping, whether that's from stress, pain, cancer treatment or a number of other factors.

 

 

Like diet and exercise, quality sleep is essential for optimal wellbeing and performance. Because everyone's sleep needs are different, Sleep Number® smart beds sense your movements and automatically adjust firmness, comfort and support to keep you both sleeping comfortably. Find your Sleep Number® setting for your best possible night's sleep, and if you own a Sleep Number® bed, log in to your Sleep Number® Rewards account to see your exclusive offers, refer friends and more.
