Sleep study for people with GI cancer and their partners
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether couples (one with a GI cancer and their sleep partner) can improve their sleep together. It involves a sleep program to help both partners build healthier sleep habits.

- You are 18 or older, can read and speak English or Spanish at an 8th-grade level, and are willing to change your sleep habits.
- You have not had major untreated depression, bipolar disorder, or other serious mental health issues, and you don't have untreated sleep apnea or other sleep disorders that would interfere.
