Struggling to sleep?

If psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis is keeping you awake at night, you’re not alone. As the days get shorter and damp weather sets in, joint aches and inflammation often flare up, and your overactive immune system releases more inflammatory chemicals. These changes can disrupt the brain signals that regulate sleep, leaving you with restless nights and exhausting days.

High inflammation markers like CRP, along with stress hormones such as cortisol that peak in winter, make drifting off even harder. And because poor sleep increases inflammation, it can trigger a frustrating cycle that worsens psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis symptoms.

The good news is that research shows that some therapies and lifestyle changes can help break the cycle and improve sleep quality.
