Sleep

How important is getting enough sleep?
lacking rest can cause a flare up but does the perfect body clock help you remain in remission?

I had my first flare up because I had an awful diet, I was too physically active with my job, gym, and college life and I wasn't getting enough sleep... those things put together plus my genetic curse with the disease got it out!
although I believe that if you have UC it's a good thing since your body is telling you that something is wrong instead of say waiting until a cancer occurs instead and you not finding out until your chances of living are over 50%...

again, sleep is crucial... right?

Yes you are right. You must have a good sleep. It helps in remission. Even though when one is flaring it is difficult to sleep, but still one can take some muscle relaxants and try to sleep after a good shower. At least the days I could have a good sleep, I would bleed less.
So Good night and have sweet dreams
