Abstract

<p>There have been increased calls to manage poor sleep in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) care. However, it’s unclear how people with IBD perceive their sleep to fit within their experience of IBD and whether interventions to improve sleep are acceptable. This qualitative study found that people with IBD perceive their sleep to be an integral part of living with IBD, would like more sleep support than is currently available, and find interventions for sleep broadly acceptable. It is important for future research to tailor sleep interventions towards those with IBD and explore the barriers to sleep support in routine care</p>
