Several Different Options To Find Chemo Sleep Caps

By Christine Carroll


If you have being dealing with hair loss due to chemotherapy, you may have noticed that your head becomes cold during the night. It can be very uncomfortable for some people. Consider trying chemo sleep caps. These were created to keep your head warm as well as provide the aesthetic feature of covering some of your hair loss.

The reason sleeping caps were created mainly was to keep the head warm of the individual wearing them. For most people, hair keeps the head warm while we are sleeping. However, for people that have lost their hair due to medical treatments, the head can often become cold, especially at night, and can be uncomfortable.

The chemo sleeping caps come in a variety of colors and different styles. Originally, the styles were very general, which made it awkward for some people to wear them. These days, the caps are created to be a little more stylish to provide comfort and confidence to the individual wearing them.

You can usually find these caps via talking to your doctor. They can also be found in various medical supply booklets for decent prices. Another option is to look for them online. Using the online search can be a great feature because you can see what styles are available and what you might be interested in buying for yourself.

However, the caps are not only exclusive for sleeping. You can use them in other situations where you might want a head covering, such as doing activities throughout the day. There are actually some other styles that are specifically created for wearing all day if you want to.

Prices are generally inexpensive for the caps. You will usually not end up paying more for them than you would for a hat, and sometimes they are less than that. In some cases when people have not been able to find chemo sleep caps, they use some soft fleece caps that are usually used during the winter. The general idea behind this is to just keep the head warm.

You can also find these caps via different support groups and foundations. Some groups even set aside the time to create the caps themselves and donate the proceeds to a cancer foundation. This can be a consideration if you would like to do something for another person with your purchase. It is a good way to make a positive impact on the rest of the cancer community. You can also consider donating caps that you have not used in a while so that someone else in need may use them as well.

A final consideration should be how many caps to own. You should have several chemo sleep caps in case you want to switch them. You can also do this if you tend to lose one or you want extra choices. You shouldn't be ashamed to wear your cap. The main reason to wear it is to be comfortable and less self conscious. It can take time to adjust to hair loss, but using these caps can help you deal with it a little easier.
