Poor Sleep and Inflammatory Disease

Insufficient sleep is considered a public health epidemic by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  

Common sleep disturbances such as insomnia are associated with the increased risk of inflammatory disease and mortality

Recent studies highlight that both too much and too little sleep are associated with inflammation  

New research published in an article by UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience reviewed 72 different articles and studies of more than 50,000 participants  

The research concluded "sleep disturbance or insomnia should be regarded as behavioural risk factors for inflammation, similar to the adverse effects of a high fat diet or sedentary lifestyle".
