Sleep & Liver CA: One report caused a lot of alarm (see http://jamukuherbal.Blogspot.Com/2010/07/beware-sleeping-late-night-cause-liver.Html), but it's not clear whether there is really a cause and effect, because fatigue and somnolence are late symptoms of liver cancer. If one is concerned, it is best to see your physician and have them run liver function tests and other screens for liver disease.
