This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is investigating whether changes in your sleep could serve as an early warning sign that your inflammatory bowel disease might flare up. Researchers know that sleep, immune function, and gut inflammation are closely connected, so they want to see if poor sleep happens before a flare begins. You would wear a sleep-tracking device and complete sleep questionnaires for one year while the team monitors your disease activity.
Right now, doctors don't have a reliable way to predict when people with inflammatory bowel disease will have a flare, even when they appear to be in remission. If sleep changes can be identified as an early warning sign, it might help doctors catch and treat flares sooner, before symptoms become severe.

For one year, you would wear a small wrist device called an actometer that tracks your sleep and activity patterns continuously. You would also complete sleep and symptom questionnaires regularly. A smaller group of participants will also wear a special headband for two nights every three months to get more detailed sleep information. During this time, your doctors will monitor your disease activity through standard blood tests and symptom assessments to see if any sleep changes occur before a flare happens.
