Why does atopic dermatitis itch more at night?

At night, the anti-inflammatory hormone cortisol decreases and body temperature rises, worsening itching. Managing your sleep environment is important.

밤에 가려움이 심해지는 것은 인체의 자연스러운 생체 리듬과 관련이 있습니다.

  • 코르티솔 감소: 천연 항염증 호르몬이 밤에 최저치로 떨어집니다.
  • 체온 상승: 이불 속 온열감이 히스타민 분비를 자극합니다.
  • 부교감 신경 우위: 혈관이 확장되며 가려움 전달이 빨라집니다.
💡 숙면 팁

자기 전 10분 냉찜질로 피부 온도를 낮추고, 침실 온도를 22~23도로 서늘하게 유지하세요.
