Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation is one of the most debilitating challenges of raising a child with eczema. Lack of sleep leads to big emotions, ineffective parenting, lack of intimacy for a couple, and distress for everyone in the family.

Nearly 30% of children with atopic dermatitis experience disrupted sleep five or more nights a week, which can lead to daytime sleepiness, irritability, inattention and moodiness.
