What role does hsCRP play in Schlaf?

hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) is a well-established biomarker of systemic inflammation. Observational studies link elevated hsCRP levels to poor sleep quality, shorter sleep duration, and increased risk of sleep apnea. However, causality is unclear: sleep deprivation can promote inflammation, and chronic inflammation can impair sleep. hsCRP is not a direct sleep marker but a non-specific risk indicator. MyBody-X offers hsCRP as a blood biomarker, not a DNA test. Evidence is human-observational, not from RCTs. Caveat: a single hsCRP value is insufficient for sleep diagnosis; clinical evaluation is needed for persistent sleep issues.
