Abstract

Sleep disturbance is very common in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and is a major factor leading to impaired quality of life. Sleep disturbance is often viewed as one of the symptoms of AD and one of the measures of disease severity. In this review, we describe a variety of sleep disorders associated with AD and a wide range of impact that sleep disorders have on patients with AD. We also discuss our current understanding of the mechanism of sleep disturbance in AD. The relationship between sleep disorders and AD might be bi-directional and could form a vicious cycle. Therefore, we suggest viewing sleep disorders as a comorbidity of AD for which regular screening and bidirectional management strategies are indicated, with equal focus on maintaining disease control and implementing specific strategies to improve sleep.
