“…Moreover, in Howard’s case, the discomfort associated with psoriasis and his topical treatments resulted in poor sleep. We now know that poor sleep quality and quantity, which occurs in patients with psoriasis at higher rates, can increase the risk for high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, heart attack, and mental health problems [ 13 – 15 ]. This issue is further compounded by the increased baseline risk of these disorders in patients living with psoriasis, leading to a vicious cycle [ 5 ].…”

Psoriasis vulgaris is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease affecting 2–3% of the population. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriatic disease have facilitated the development of novel therapeutic options with improved safety and efficacy. This article is coauthored by a patient with a lifelong history of psoriasis who experienced multiple treatment failures. He details his diagnosis and treatment experiences, as well as the physical, mental, and social ramifications of his skin condition. He then goes on to elaborate how evolutions in the treatment of psoriatic disease have impacted his life. This case is then discussed from the perspective of a dermatologist specializing in inflammatory skin disorders. We highlight the clinical features of psoriasis, its medical and psychosocial comorbidities, and the current landscape of psoriatic disease treatments.

“…Severity of psoriasis. Several studies have found that the clinical severity of psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of developing SDs (26,33,(49)(50)(51)(52). A study by Melikoglu et al of 48 psoriatic patients showed that PSQI scores were significantly correlated with psoriasis severity assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (p = 0.03) (33).…”

Psoriasis alters patients’ quality of life. Among the disorders associated with psoriasis, sleep disorders are common, although they are not directly assessed by most quality-of-life scores. Thus, their specific evaluation with dedicated scores is necessary, especially because such disorders alter physical and psychological health. The relationship between psoriasis and sleep disorders has not yet been fully elucidated, but numerous studies in the literature show links between the two. Our study aims to update knowledge about sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis through a review of the scientific literature since 1980. This work covers several topics of interest, such as sleep assessment methods, the prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis, factors predictive of sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis, the impact of sleep disorders on comorbidities and quality of life, pathogenic mechanisms, obstructive sleep apnoea and restless leg syndromes, and the impact of biotherapy treatments on sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis.

“…Future research would be helpful to assess whether the immunomodulatory effects of sleep impact the course of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. While disease severity is seen to correlate with poor sleep in psoriasis patients [18], it is unclear whether more severe disease leads to poor sleep or whether poor sleep leads to more severe disease, with both likely playing a role. The influence of sleep dysfunction on chronic inflammatory diseases has not yet been assessed in dermatology patients, but it has been explored in IBD patients.…”
