A recent study conducted at the Malabar Cancer Center in India aimed to assess the prevalence of insomnia in the perioperative period in patients undergoing cancer surgery. The study found that insomnia was present in 28% of patients before surgery, 54% immediately after surgery, and 35% two weeks after surgery. Factors such as age, educational status, tobacco chewing, marital status, comorbidities, type of surgery, type of anesthesia, level of pain, and type of analgesia used significantly influenced the occurrence of postoperative insomnia. The researchers concluded that addressing insomnia in the perioperative period is important for facilitating faster postoperative recovery and reducing the financial burden of prolonged hospital stays.
