Pain, itchiness, and stress can all keep you from getting the rest you need. Try these things to help you ease your symptoms and sleep better.
People with psoriatic arthritis tend to have more trouble with sleep, and that can make their symptoms worse. You should have a nightly ritual that checks all the usual boxes for good sleep. Then take steps to manage the top sleep robbers linked to psoriatic arthritis: pain, itch, and stress.Go to sleep and get up at the same times every day to put your body clock in the best rhythm. Start by turning off all electronics with a screen an hour before you turn in.
It could be scratching, more than the itch itself, that wakes you up in the middle of the night. So keep nails short. And to really limit how much you can go after your skin in your sleep, wear cotton gloves to bed. If psoriasis has pitted your nails and applying a cream is part of your treatment, the gloves will also help keep it in place.Anxiety about your illness and about not being able to sleep can build on itself.
