Sleep Well - Ask the Expert

Breastcancer.org is having an Ask the Expert Online Conference on sleep problems. Here's the info if anyone is interested:

The breast cancer experience can completely disrupt your sleep. Are hot flashes waking you up at night? Has fatigue become so high that you're too tired to even sleep? Are you lying awake thinking about test results? Long-term sleeplessness has been found to weaken the immune system and increase the risk of developing a number of different health conditions. How can you make sure you're getting the sleep you need?

Join us tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 24th, between 9:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)* (2:30 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. GMT January 25th) for this month's Ask-the-Expert Online Conference: Sleep well: Healthy habits for good rest.

We'll answer as many questions as we can during the conference. A conference transcript will be posted at breastcancer.org by February 2, 2007.

To join the conference, go to www.breastcancer.org any time between 9:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. EST* tomorrow and click on the "Join Conference" button. No special software is required.
