Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of over 200 lung disorders that affect the interstitial tissues, the area around the air sacs in the lungs. ILD can make breathing more difficult, reduce oxygen levels, and cause symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. But there’s another aspect of ILD that is often overlooked—its impact on sleep.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how ILD can affect sleep, why these disruptions happen, and what strategies can help improve sleep quality for those living with this condition.
