Sleep and Inflammation: The Direct Link
Disclaimer: If major sleepiness, snoring + breathing pauses → medical advice (sleep apnea).
In 30 Seconds
Sleep disorders are associated with higher levels of inflammatory markers (including CRP), and the effect is found in systematic reviews.
Why?
Lack of sleep disrupts appetite hormones, stress regulation, and promotes a pro-inflammatory environment.
7-Day Plan (Realistic)
- Fixed wake time (even weekends)
- Caffeine: stop after 2pm
- Dinner: lighter, earlier
- 10 min daily walk
- Screens: lower brightness + cut off 45 min before bed
