What is the connection between lack of sleep and Vertigo attacks?

I noticed many here write that attacks come specifically after short nights. The Truth? It's not just a gut feeling, there is a deep scientific explanation. Sleep is a repair mechanism. During sleep (especially REM), the brain "resets" the balance system and re-processes connections between vision, balance, and movement. When we don't sleep enough, these networks work in "overload." Also, lack of sleep raises Cortisol (stress hormone), which causes reduced blood flow in the inner ear.

Good sleep is not a luxury, but supportive treatment. Steps that can help: Avoid blue screens before bed, darken the room, herbal tea, consistent hours. Good night 🌙
