C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key inflammatory marker produced by the liver. Elevated CRP levels are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which can negatively impact sleep quality. Research indicates a bidirectional relationship: sleep deprivation can increase inflammation, and higher inflammatory markers may disrupt sleep architecture. However, the evidence is nuanced – not every CRP elevation directly affects sleep, and confounding factors like stress, diet, or infections play major roles. Consumer tests claiming a simple CRP-sleep link often oversimplify. The provided context lacks specific data on CRP and sleep, so conclusions remain tentative. A thorough sleep assessment should involve medical guidance.
