Vitiligo and Sleep: Breaking the Vicious Circle (Ep. 23)

Vitiligo is more than a skin condition—it affects identity, confidence, and emotional well-being. The stress and anxiety linked to vitiligo can disrupt sleep, creating a cycle of restlessness and fatigue. High cortisol levels from stress interfere with the sleep-wake cycle, while autoimmune inflammation and emotional distress worsen insomnia. But what if breaking that vicious cycle could improve both mental health and skin healing? In this episode of Deep Dive in Vitiligo, we explore how stress, inflammation, and mental health challenges contribute to poor sleep in people with vitiligo—and how we can fix this.   Join us as we uncover practical strategies to restore restful nights and regain control—not just over your skin but over your well-being, too.
