Studies by our group and Dr. Berger suggest that insomnia might begin before the treatments start. I agree that stress associated with the diagnosis of cancer is one of the precipitating factors for the development of insomnia, however, we don't think that stress is the only factor. We think that treatments and tumor biology might lead to the development of insomnia in cancer patients. Regardless of what causes insomnia in cancer, we know that it becomes a persistent problem for many cancer patients and survivors and we think it should be treated in cancer patients and survivors.
