Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing recognition of the bidirectional link between sleep and inflammation. Several studies have reported the prevalence of sleep disturbances in those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and found poor sleep has the potential to increase the risk of disease relapse. Additionally, sleep loss may adversely affect cognitive performance, mental health, metabolism, and pain perception. While previous research has indicated potential associations between sleep and symptoms commonly reported in IBD, few studies use objective measures of sleep. Wrist actigraphy can objectively and non-invasively measure sleep-wake cycles and has been found feasible for use in the IBD population. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-reported sleep, wrist actigraphy, and symptoms among adults with IBD.
