Sumario:Sleep disorders have received considerable attention from the dermatologic community, especially in patients with atopic dermatitis. We confirmed that excessive daytime sleepiness is a common problem among patients with atopic dermatitis, with it affecting 46.1% of the evaluated subjects. We demonstrated that excessive daytime sleepiness was also significantly associated with disease severity in patients with atopic dermatitis and had a detrimental impact on quality of life, well‐being and burden. These findings suggest the importance of careful assessment and the management of sleep disorders in atopic dermatitis patients. Intervention programs for sleep disorders in this population might help to improve their quality of life and their well‐being.[Image: see text]
