- Abstract
While disease severity is seen to correlate with poor sleep in psoriasis patients [[18]], it is unclear whether more severe disease leads to poor sleep or whether poor sleep leads to more severe disease, with both likely playing a role. In dermatology, we typically think of sleep disruption as a consequence rather than a cause of primary skin pathology, such as nocturnal pruritus in atopic dermatitis patients or pain with psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients. Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and vitiligo patients experience a greater prevalence of sleep dysfunction versus the general population [[2] [5]], which likely contributes to their reduced health-related and overall quality of life [[6] [9]]. Despite the well-known advantages of adequate sleep for the human body, the impact of sleep on chronic inflammatory skin disease is underappreciated [[1]].
