A genetic study revealed causal links between sleep traits and inflammatory skin diseases. 

**Key Findings:**
- Frequent insomnia was associated with a significantly higher risk of psoriasis (OR ~1.20) and atopic dermatitis (OR ~1.15), while longer sleep duration had protective effects against acne (OR ~0.90) and urticaria (OR ~0.88). 
- Other traits, such as daytime sleepiness, napping, snoring, and chronotype, showed no strong associations. 
- Sensitivity analyses confirmed these findings. 

The results highlight that managing insomnia and optimizing sleep duration may help lower the burden and severity of common inflammatory skin disorders.
