Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Fatigue, non-restorative sleep, and poor sleep quality are frequently reported among patients with SSc, yet these symptoms remain under-recognized and under-investigated in clinical practice. Despite growing awareness of the burden of sleep-related symptoms, there is a significant lack of objective data regarding sleep disturbances in this population, particularly those assessed using polysomnography (PSG).
