does bad sleep make flares worse, or just me?

Slept maybe 4 hours last night and today my arms are worse than they’ve been in a while, more red along the elbow crease, itchy enough I caught myself scratching on the bus without noticing.

Can’t tell if that’s actually connected or if I just want a tidy reason for a bad skin day. The commute already eats into sleep most nights, so if poor sleep is a trigger I’m setting myself up for this more than I’d like to admit.

I suppose what I’m asking is whether anyone’s noticed a real pattern, next morning or a day later… and whether you do anything different on the short nights, or just ride it out?

    Yeah, poor sleep flares mine too, though it’s usually the day after for me.

    has this happened before on short-sleep nights, or is tonight the first time…

    no sleep plus sitting still on the bus for an hour does the same thing to me
