American Cancer Society (ACS) and Sleep Number have formed a long-term partnership to embark upon foundational sleep research, informing the first-ever sleep guidelines for cancer.

Over the next six years, ACS will conduct research with contributions from Sleep Number’s proprietary sleep data and sleep expertise to identify the impact of quality sleep on cancer prevention and recovery, leading to improved sleep outcomes for cancer patients and survivors.

Sleep Number’s contributions will enable targeted, cancer-related sleep science exploration, combining the magnitude of the ACS body of evidence regarding cancer prevention with the 360® smart bed’s highly accurate, longitudinal sleep data to meaningfully advance cancer-related sleep interventions.

In addition, Sleep Number has committed to support the Society’s Hope Lodge communities through financial commitments and by furnishing Lodges with its 360® smart beds, Sleep Number® bedding and other sleep solutions to provide comforting sleep experiences to patients staying there during their cancer treatment journey.
