The Relationship Between Sleep, Fatigue and Quality of Life in Young Adults With Autoimmune Addison′s Disease
Non-restorative sleep emerged as a distinct feature of AAD. While the prevalence and severity of sleep impairments were similar to controls, the association with poorer physical health was stronger in patients. Mental health remained similar despite sleep disturbances. These findings highlight the importance of addressing even modest sleep disturbances, which may worsen fatigue and reduce physical wellbeing in AAD.
