Sleep Well
Symptoms of eczema tend to worsen during the night and affect the sleep. In turn, a lack of sleep may affect the condition due to the reduced ability of the skin barrier. Sleep deprivation may also increase the number of inflammatory biomarkers and immune-stimulating proteins. For these reasons, it is important to sleep well by following these tips:
– Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day
– Avoid a large meal, vigorous exercises, and caffeine before sleep
– Avoid using digital devices before bedtime
– Make sure the sleeping room is cool, dark, and quiet [8]
