Sleep Deprivation and Disease

Abstract

Sixty-three percent of Americans are not meeting their sleep needs. Symptoms of sleep deprivation (insufficient sleep and poor quality sleep) are common complaints of patients with rheumatologic diseases. Sleep deprivation alters immune function and host defense mechanisms with release of inflammatory cytokines. Pain, fatigue, and depression are associated with sleep deprivation. This review focuses on the role of sleep deprivation in the spectrum of rheumatologic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, primary Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, Behcet’s disease, and osteoarthritis.
