Sleep disorders in adult acne

Acne is a very common skin condition, predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults of both sexes. Several studies have shown that acne affects adults as well. Few studies have considered the adult population. A study published in 2015 did not find any impact on sleep in young people with acne. In 2019, however, an American study based on a small sample concluded a relationship between acne and poor quality of sleep. According to a study by “Santé Publique France” published in March 2019, French people sleep 6 hours and 42 minutes per night on average. This was the first time that daily sleep time fell below 7 hours, the minimumamount of time recommended for good recovery.
