A member asked:
Can you get leukemia when sleeping very late always? and when i sleep sometimes i get bruises is that normal?

No, no such thing: Leukemia is a blood cancer which can not be caused all that easily with anything that you can put your finger on. Bruises can be due to Aspirin or some other blood disorder(they are more related to low platelet counts). If you are concerned, go see your doctor or get your blood count(cbc) checked to be sure it is normal.

No: I'm not aware of any studies establishsing a link between sleeping late and leukemia.
