    TLDR People with alopecia tend to have poorer sleep and lower quality of life.
    The study "The Quality of Sleep and Quality of Life in Patients with Alopecia" by Fatemeh Kashaninasab et al., published in the Journal of Sleep Sciences, investigated the relationship between sleep quality and life quality in patients suffering from alopecia. The study involved 200 participants, 100 with alopecia and 100 without. The results showed that patients with alopecia had significantly poorer sleep quality and lower quality of life scores compared to those without alopecia. The researchers concluded that alopecia has a negative impact on both sleep quality and overall quality of life.
